YABA




/ya'b*/ [Cambridge] Yet Another Bloody Acronym.

Whenever some program is being named, someone invariably suggests that it be given a name that is acronymic.

The response from those with a trace of originality is to remark ironically that the proposed name would then be "YABA-compatible".

Also used in response to questions like "What is WYSIWYG?"

See also YA-, TLA.
