Webster defines and acronym as a word formed from the initial letter of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term.
For instance, MADD= pronounced as mad = mom's against drunk drivers
NINJA= no income, no jobs or assets.
Ninjas were given home loans. This seems silly cause anyone should know if you don't have a way to pay for something, you probably won't be able to pay for it. Resulting foreclosure crisis is the result of this silliness.
NIMBY = Not in my back yard.
Nimbists would love to have cheap nuclear energy, just don't put a reactor in their back yard, in their neighborhood, in their home state, hell, on their side of the country.
TEOTWAWKI = The end of the world as we know it.
I saw this word on a web site, which got me to thinking about "acronamics" to begin with. I pronounce it (probably wrong, who's to say?) Tee-oh-twaw-key
Preparations for this event range from outfitting travel trailers on private "junk land", storing tons of beans and rice, learning weaponry, and basically anything frugal. I'm a survivalist, I guess, more mobile though.
EGADS = Eating gross and disgusting stuff.
Yup, I made this one up when reading survival blogs about all the crap we may end up eating, so get used to it, and try some today.
Those of us approaching senior hood have seen a lot of bad stuff in our days. We lived through the horrible Vietnam Era, and if you'd asked me, I never thought we'd get ourselves swamped in another such war. But, whatever.
Things are different, more desperate, more deadly. This whole radiation thing needs solving.
Kids,got any ideas?
Maybe if we poured vinegar on the whole mess. Or baking soda.
That stuff seems to work for a bunch of stuff.
