Ok, we all use them. Whether it be the one annie just used(BMW) or one like OMG.


But who comes up with things like Southern Tennesee Farmer's Union, or Appalation Seed Sowers?

I think it's more of a spur the moment type thing. People suddenly realize that what they want to say is too long and drawn out, thusly they come up with acronyms to shorten what they have to say to save time.

*shrug*

I find it hilarious that TLA is a TLA (TLA stands for Three Letter Acronym)

Has anyone ever played "Acrophobia" on the net?

It's played in a room with a maximum capacity of 20 players, and random alphabets are generated every round. You create a sentence using those acronyms according to the subject matter shown - and the rest of the room votes on their favourite. The person who reaches 30 points first will go to a "Face-Off" round with the runner up, creating acronyms from 3,4 and 5 alphabets within a 30sec time frame.

The Adult rooms are hilarious!! Definitely for not for the faint hearted.
