    It is obvious that the OP suffers from this syndrome, by the very title of this thread (and opening line of the OP.)

    For those of you computer geeks of a certain age, there’s FAT table. There’s the VIN # for your vehicle.

    I disagree with NFL football. NFL refers to the league. There’s NFL clothing, NFL sponsorships, and there’s NFL football, as distinguished from Arena football or futbol.

    Then there are recursive acronyms like GNU (GNU Not Unix), a predecessor to linux.
