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

Examples;
"Choosing Underhand Nasty Tactics"
"Following Utter Comedic Kings, Over Fellow Followers"
" Imagine, Living Over Valleys Evermore, Yielding Our Utopia"

The Acronymical sentence does not have to make sense, but it's genius when it can be done!

Try re-reading my text, the Acronymical sentence is what I really wanted to say
