EMERGING ORGANISATIONS, TRENDS AND ACRONYMS

When I was small, knowing the full forms/expansions of abbreviations and acronyms used to be one of the important things in GK, ie, General Knowledge. Many of us nearly failed when confronted with RSVP, UNESCO, FIFA, IOA, YMCA, WHO and the like.Over a period of time the expansions of some of these acronyms and abbreviations have changed. New meanings have emerged.

Also, over a period of time, a number of more such organisations and their acronyms are emerging. Some of these may appear to be deceptively similar to the existing ones but look again and you will see why these are different and urgently required.

  • TSJLT        –  Traffic School for Jumping Lanes Tactics.
  • IDYTO       –   Institute for Doing Your Thing in the Open.
  • YMTA        –   Young Men Terror Association.
  • YWTA        –   Young Women Terror Association.
  • CII              –   Centre for Idling with Impunity.
  • MP             –   Moneyed Person.
  • MLA          –   My Livelihood Assured.
  • NETA         –   Never Easy To Arrest.
  • IACS          –   Indian Association of Compulsive Spitters.
  • HHU          –   Horny Honkers Union.
  • PTBE         –   Passing The Buck Experts.
  • BCCI         –   Bored Cricket Cribbers of India.
  • AIPRV       –   Association for Identification of Potential Rape Victims (New Delhi Based)
  • SFTPE       –   School for Foreign Travel at Public Expense.
  • ORBS        –   Organisation for Receiving Bribes Safely.
  • ADARSH     Army Doesn’t Avert Re-appropriating Surplus Housing.
  • CMNPG    –   Centre for Making Noise to Please Gods.
  • SSSMS      –   Strikes Strikes Strikes and More Strikes.
  • EWT          –   Encroachment Without Tears.
  • USWETs    –   Useful Stripping With Eyes Techniques.
  • EJF            –   Elite Jail Friends.
  • ECM          –   Elite Cell Mates.
  • MICA        –   Member of Indian Cribbers Association.
  • POOR        –   People sans Office Or Residence.
  • PM            –    Paralysed Man. (If totally paralysed and requiring a chair then: Chairman).

These are typically Indian acronyms. However, should you want to adapt some of these to your own national conditions you have the author’s permission to do so.

Author: Sunbyanyname

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
