sitting here mindlessly zoning, my mind leaps to an acronym that sounds dirty... but really isn't. M.U.F.F. (the mountain united film festival).

there's got to be more, so of course, I think of you guys. keep it wierd, keep it real

In the anime Roujin Z (Dubbed, at the very least), a few characters are in a meeting and one man is presenting a presentation (Oddly enough). He talks at length about Japan's ageing population, using a variety of acronyms until just before the meeting is interrupted...

"...and then we can all get our Special Homes In The Sun, or shi-"

And that's when the meeting is interrupted.

ok... apparently people don't get the meaning of "real",

I'm looking for real life situations, if I wanted fictional examples, I would've added citizens united negating technology for life and people's safety

it might be scripted to be fun, and not all that real, but still, its a great clip making fun of the use of leet-speek for the people who dont know how it works:

'Copper Nanotubes', when it is pointed out that a similar anacronym for Carbon is 'CNT' and the chemical symbol for copper is Cu... (yes, this is actually real and appeared a comical number of times in a published paper...)

Yes yes, "keep it real". But some of these are more hilarious when they're found in comedy. Such as this gem from Red Dwarf:

"I call it 'The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisations and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Erm, one drawback with that - the abbreviation is 'CLITORIS'."

That one reminds me of the "Coilition for the Liberation of Itinerate Tree-Dwellers" or C.L.I.T. from Jay and Silent Bob Strike back...It's an off shoot of "Liberate Apes Before Imprisoning Apes" Movement...or L.A.B.I.A.

Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesireables and the Subjugation of Humanity from the Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Didn't really mean the same in the 60's.

I read about this:

in the 1800s when the shipped cow turds to burn as fuel they kept igniting in the ships for a reason i don't remember right now, anyway on the barrels that had said cow droppings, to prevent anymore explosions, they marked the barrels:
Ship High In Transit or S.H.I.T.

Not "crude" or "dirty", but funny nonetheless, the South Park episode has an organization called the World Canadian Bureau, or the "WGN".
