yeah yeah, *now* i know it means "I Am Not A Lawyer." and what kind of social commentary is that, that this general blanket disclaimer and exemption of all responsibility has become an accepted, commonly-used acronym ??
(no "da" today : i'm using my left-over nyet from higher up.)

Of all the acronyms, I've always liked IANAL, as I thought it was making fun of its own content, with the added bonus of irony:
"I Am Not A Lawyer", and, by saying so I [am being] ANAL, and (for irony) I include this abdication of responsibility, just like a lawyer would recommend.
Of course, maybe that's not the premise by which it came about, nor even reason for its continuance, but I take my humour where and when I can get it. Life can't always look good, but it can usually look "funny".
