New life for old acronyms

3 Comments 13 April 2012

Sometimes I run into folks who meet me in person and are surprised I can be funny. (Stranger things have happened.) I hope that my awkward sense of humor comes out on this blog. So for the sake of not taking myself or my day (or Friday the 13th)  too seriously, let’s have some fun renaming acronyms, shall we?

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome for those of you of the male persuasion)

  • Pretty Mary Syndrome
  • Post Monkey Stress
  • Partly Maniacal Seizures
  • Pray for Much Sugar

FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)

  • Feral Bears Incinerate
  • Fantastic Bubbles Inflate
  • Fake Badguys of Indiana
  • First Be Irate

CIA (The Central Intelligence Agency)

  • Carnal Insect Advocates
  • Center for Intelligent Aardvarks
  • Catapulting Irate Actors
  • Cadbury-egg Inhalers Anonymous

FDIC (Federal Department of Insurance and Something That Starts with a C)

  • Fighting Dumb Insecure Cats
  • Federal Department of Ichabod Crane
  • Finding Doors in Crisis
  • Feeling Deeply In Canada

How about you? Care to come up with your own for PETA? CBS? PBS? Any others? Let’s have some fun. :)

    ABC – always be colorful, ER – eternal ramblings, FDA – flying dinosaurs advance, ACLU – another crazy lanyard unfurls, NYPD – not your prettiest dress. These ARE fun. Now I’m going to be thinking of them for about a week. Thanks. :P

    PBS – Paint by Sound

    Especially for parents:  PETA – Put EVERY THING Away   :-)

    CBS – Cannot Be Serious

    A lost “liberty” here?  FOID  – Free, Open, Intelligent Discussions.

    Not always funny, these are kind of like a Rorschach test! Thanks, Mary

    One of mine for FREE has always been
    Fully Releasing Everything Evil. Not a funny one but one I thought of years ago in my struggle with fear.
