YABA

/ya´b@/ n.

[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 TLA.
