The best TLA I've encountered was explained to me by some NASA engineers. It is CSD, for Catastrophic Self-Disassembly. After all, mission control clearly can't say "Oh My God! The rocket BLEW UP!!!" Instead they say (in a calm voice) that "the mission has experienced a CSD event."

Oh .... so THAT's what I experienced on the highway ... a CSD!!
Although, I suppose it was really more of a CTD (catastrophic truck disassembly).
