Actually, heh, when we were having our great 'Name the new TVR' thread a few months ago, no one thought of TVR Tesco did they!

Next: Porsche Pricerite? Lotus Londis? Caterham CoOp?

Ok, you asked for it!

A Clever Re-Organisation Nudges Your Memory, or

A Completely Random Order Never Yields Meaning, or

A Concise Recollection of Nomenclature Yielding Mnemonics, or

A Concise Reduction Obliquely Naming Your Meaning, or

A Crazy Reminder Of Names You Misplaced, or

A Cross Reference Of Notes Yielding Messages, or

A Cryptic Reminder Of Names You Meet, or

Abbreviated Coded Rendition Of Name Yielding Meaning, or

Abbreviation By Cropping Names That Yield Meaning, or

Alphabetic Collocation Reducing Or Numbing Your Memory, or

Alphabetically Coded Reminder of Names You Misremember, or

Alphanumeric Code for Remembering Odd Names You Make up

You can probably tell, I have a really busy afternoon here at work. TFIF

I worked for IBM (another TLA itself) for a while, and saw in an AS/400 manual that a particular hardware error code meant that there was an AMD fault.
I opened the Glossary page of the manual, and found that AMD meant Air Movement Device - i.e. FAN!
Why the f use a three-letter acronym instead of a three-letter word?

Did that fault manifest itself during IPL? If so I hope you had a good SLA with your ISV.

I bloody hate them.
