RE: Today
to answer the Q.... its obviously ironic, can you abbreviate abbreviation?.... or give it an acronym? .... or would that be a backronym or an anacronym??.... here a good definition....
A backronym (or bacronym) is a phrase that is constructed "after the fact" from a previously existing abbreviation, the abbreviation being an initialism or an acronym. The term is a false acronym, and sometimes used to refer to the initialism or acronym itself,[1] but usually in those cases, it is a "replacement" backronym, the abbreviation already having an associated phrase. When the backronym phrase becomes more popular than the original, the word becomes an anacronym.[2]
Is that clear now?
