Actually, Hog Rider Dude, four letter acronyms are covered with AOFL (acronyms of four letters).

Acromyn? Maybe a small acrobat? Or how about a French acrolein mine? Hmm. There must be a better definition. Ideas?

In the constant search for improved productivity, our 'statistics guy' flippantly created the 'Time Wasters Automated Tracking System'.
By the time he realised what he'd really done, it was too late to change it.
There's a couple of managers who categorically refuse to refer to it as anything other than 'The System'.

(I feel a cross-reference to the edited Jacqueline Wilson book would be appropriate here, but am not that motivated at the moment)

Of course he did. Many of my great bad lines that were part of Government paperwork went through without being noticed. On one it took four years until someone caught it.

I did, really. Of course, everyone said something. It was a private company, and we wrote all of our own software, so... who cares?
