acronymage

A primitive game (reputedly invented by Abigail and Aron) involving the creation of humorous or intellectual phrases from an everyday word - thus turning the original word into an acronym (hence acronymage).

For example, in a game of acronymage-
RAPE can become:
-reaching arm, playing elephant
-racist albino punishes ethnic
-raw artichoke promotes euthinasia

acronymize

vt; vi To reduce a perfectly acceptable title or phrase into an acronym. . Generally thought to be best avoided in most cases, certainly those not in extensive use, or those whose original phrasing was selected for it's poetic or prosaic beauty or clarity. Especially egregious are acronyms that have been "Reverse Acronymized", or cooked up from acronyms that happen to be words, but whose constituent words are contrived at best.

e.g "Office of Academic Freedom" become OAF
"Compound Acronymizing" is practiced by techie geeks, e.g. JXML

writing and speaking in acronyms, often personalised and familiar to a small group of people.

Marge: So Wally says to me, like, "I heard that you and Shirl talk in code?", and I go, like "Ya. That's so 'acronymatic' code to you!"

Shirl: Ha! Like, that is SO nosey. S2S (snickers to self). Did you hear from Trev already?

Marge: I SO did. D'you know he had the cheek to tell me that he so didn't want me seeing anyone else even though, it was like, HE broke it off with ME? I was like WTF? (what the fuck)

Shirl: God, some guys are such jerk offs. And, like, what did you say to that?

Marge: I told him to rack off.

Shirl: You are SHRN. (so hot right now)

Marge: Ya! And he is SGRN. (so gay right now)

Shirl: LYWM (love your work Marge)

acronymize

1. To make words into acronyms that don't stand for anything with the sole purpose of emphasizing the word! Especially as wall posts or status updates on social networking sites.

2. A step above ALL CAPS and exclamation marks!!!!

BOB post: "This S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y! This party is F.I.E.R.C.E.!"

BJ comment: "What does S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. stand for?"

BOB comment: Nothing it's just S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. because I.T. I.S. F.I.E.R.C.E.!!!

BJ comment: "O.K.... way to acronymize"

acronymize

v The process of reducing as many words as possible to a series of acronyms. This practice is often found in organizations where groupthink is rampant and human interpersonal skills are undeveloped.

Instead of saying "We're going out for lunch. Will you be at the afternoon staff meeting," you could acronymize and say "We're going OFL. Will you be at the ASM?"

Extreme version: WGOFL. WYBATASM?
