Okay, Ladies & Gentlemen....

We have all been brought up in a world FULL of acronyms,abbreviations,puns,rhymes,filthy dirty jokes.....etc

But JUST how many acronyms have you seen that have brought upon amazement and disbelief...acronyms that have left you using phrases similar to one used by the Mayor of Hiroshoma, after that big bastard of a bomb was dropped..." Ho..wot da f**k wos dat ????!!!"

Okay...(in Austin Powers accent)..just to get things, ya know, moving....here are a few that I have found, not related to the aviation industry...(for a change !!!!!)

BMW : Bought My Wife
Brings Me Women ( )
Brings More Women
Broke My Wallet

CHEVROLET : Can Hear Every Valve Rap On Long
Extended Trips

DODGE : Dead On Day Guarantee Expires

FIAT : Failure in Italian Automotive
Technology

FORD : Fast Only Rolling Downhill

GM : Garbage Motors
Gluteus Maximus

HONDA : Hallmark Of Non-destructable
Automobiles

HYUNDAI : Hope You Understand Nothing's
Driveable And Inexpensive

PORSCHE : Proof Of Rich Spoiled Children
Having Everything

SAAB : Shape Appears Ass-Backwards

SUBARU : Screwed Up Beyond All Repair Usually

TOYOTA : Too Often Yankees Overprice This
Auto

VOLVO : Very Odd Looking Vehicular Object

The list goes on and on...and on....and on...

SHOOT !!!! Couldn't resist - here's a few aviation acronyms/abbreviations :

ALITALIA : Airplane Landed In Tokyo And
Luggage In Atlanta

BOAC : Better On A Camel

SAS : Sex After Service

TWA : That Was Awful

.....all in good jest, folks....ANY MORE ?
I'm sure there are PLENTY more out there....bring 'em on !

DINKY's grow up to become SITKOM's - Single Income, Two Kids, Oppressive Mortgage - and life isn't quite as fun

Oh well, I guess they'll both grow up, and the boy likes aeroplanes already...

I thought SAS stood for that elite group -Straight Air Steward. As hard to become a member as the real thing?

ETOPS - Engines Turning Or Passengers Swimming (so a BA Captain told me).

TSG - (Met. Police branch) - Thick and Stupid Group.

Not an acronym, but have you ever noticed what your £1.50 or so bottle of Evian water spells backwards?

We’re lucky having the PAL system for colour television in England. A friend in the U.S. told me that their system - NTSC Television - stands for Never The Same Colour Twice
