Some funny acronyms.

Hey Infonick, have you heard some Pongo Pongo joke where an army man, a navy man, and a marine corps were captured?

Who really cares if Infonick wants to call it an acronym, let him.

PS: mercenary, what is wrong with your avator?

Wow, look at that… O_o I was about to post a whole diatribe about how certain I was that acronyms don’t have to be pronounceable. To prove my point I took down my own dictionary. But here’s what I found:

<B>Acronym</B>, <I>n.</I> pronounceable word formed from the first or first few letters of other words.

So that more or less settles it.

F is for fighting, R is for red,
Ancestors’ blood in battles they’ve shed.
E, we elect them, E, we eject them,
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
D, for your dying, O, your overture,
M, they will cover your grave with manure./ M is for money and you know what that cures.
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me,
As long as there’s a P.M.R.C.

This thread has become quite interesting. :slight_smile: :o :slight_smile:

Gaah! I have been discovered!

I would just like to add that their is a word with no vowels. That word is nth. (to the ~ degree)

That is a very interesting find, probally with many others. I just wonder if it is valid in Scrabble, and if not… why?

And to Heaven’s Solider… why do you think there is somethign wrong with my avatar? (i.e. it is pixelated, I did do that)
