After 20 years in EMS, (see how it starts immediately - Emergency Medical Services), The whole bloody damned field is nothing but acronyms for as far as the eye can see.
From BPM - Beats per minute, to ABC - Airway, Breathing, circulation, (which today is more like ACB - Airway, Circulation, Breathing) to OPQRST - Onset, provoke/pallation, Quality, Region/Radiation, Severity, Time to A-Fib - Atrial Fibrillation to SOB - Shortness of Breath.
I hate them all........

PICNIC. problem in chair, not in computer.
I always know it as a PBCAK error (problem between chair and keyboard)
It's PEBCAK, problem exists between keyboard and chair. Rolls right off the tongue.
Alternatively: ID 10T

obscure corporate jargon like KPIs (key performance indicators), KRIs (key risk indicators) which, after having thrown them at me during an interview for a college intern position, made the interviewer wonder why i got so flustered. i would hesitate to throw any acronyms around in any interview, let alone for a college student.
by the way, i got the internship. the acronyms weren't even used in my position.

GABOS.
Prison lingo. Acronym for 'Game Ain't Based On Sympathy," first heard in the Louis Theroux documentary "Miami Mega Jail".
Louie: Don't... don't you feel sympathy for that person? For that other inmate you extorted?
Inmate: GABOS, man... GABOS.

Not me but my spouse hates recursive ones, like GNU. Hates them so much, active vocal expressions of dislike. Anyways the setting I'm making is filthy with recursive acronyms for no reason.
