YABA

/ya'b*/ [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

YA-, TLA.
