   The Bardposted 10 years ago

   this is mine "TLA" - used to identify acronyms.
   
   eg: The CIA is a TLA
   
   The FBI is a TLA
   
   A TLA is a Three Letter Acronym
   
   LOL! Oops there's another!
   
   What about LMAO - thats a FLA (four letter acronym - which is still only a TLA really) or ROTFLMAO that's an ELA. (Eight Letter Acronym). Confusing innit?

    When I did my Corporate America stint, I must have done a gazillion presentations to internal groups, clients, etc. Every now and again, the numbers didn't seem to add up. So we would put our own spin on them and footnote them as "M.I.U., (year)". Little did the audience know that M.I.U. stood for "Made It Up". Never was questioned on it, though!
