Fun with Acronyms

By Karen on September 6, 2006 8:15 PM | | Comments (1)

At work today I had a problem connecting to the scanner. The error message told me that my computer was "unable to locate the TWAIN source." This prompted me to ask our IT consultant what TWAIN meant. As he could explain only TWAIN's function but not what it stood for, I was forced to consult Wikipedia to satiate my hunger for knowledge.

As it turns out, TWAIN is an acronym for "Technology (or Toolkit or Thing) Without An (or Any) Intelligent (or Important or Interesting) Name". This is my new favorite acronym.

What's your favorite acronym? Is it a recursive acronym?
