Just to add here - making up new abbreviations for fun is one thing, to use them in posts on the forums is quite another. That isn't a good idea.

That said, feel free to carry on with the game :tu:

This isn't mine, but it's such a wild coincidence (synchronicity?) that I just happened to find the following abbreviation in an article I was editing today:

The term, spelled out, is "monomannosyl dioleyl glycerol conjugate"

The abbreviation is--I kid you not--manDOG.

I almost soiled my Fruit of the Looms when I saw it.

All right, I see what's going on. This is the opening salvo in what will be an escalating series of juvenile tit for tat exchanges. Well titted! Stand by for my upcoming tat. --Dr. Sheldon Cooper

Imagine how annoying it would be trying to have a conversation with someone who was using made-up abbreviations.

Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.
