Acronyms and Bacronyms
Acronyms are everywhere these days. They are so common that most people don't even give them a second thought...but what about bacronyms. Bacronyms are not so common; in fact, many people have never even heard of bacronyms.
A bacronym is, in essence, the opposite of an acronym. Where an acronym is formed by taking a phrase and using the first letter of each word of the phrase to form a word, a bacroynm is formed by taking a word and creating a phrase (usually humorous) using the letters of the word as initials.
