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.
