There are many chess clubs in .nl with oldfashioned acronyms as their names, e.g. MOT (Moed Overwint Tegenstand / Courage Defeats Resistance), merged with Vriezenveen to form VriMOT; ENO (Ernst Nut & Ontspanning / Seriousness, Use and Relaxation), SOPSWEPS (Samen Op Reis Spelen Wij Een Potje Schaak / Travelling Together We Play a Game of Chess) etc etc.

 


 Not to mention the famous AVRO tournaments. A steel mill right?

A radio broadcaster -- Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep, something like General Association for Radio Broadcasting.

The Hoogovens (now Corus) tournaments were sponsored by the steel mill of that name, but that's not an acronym -- Hoogovens means "high ovens" :-)

I can't believe it. It's another completely pointless thread about nothing.

As a doctor we have a lot of acronyms that we regularly use. 

My favorite is DFKDFC used in diagnostic notes - Don't F*cking Know Don't F*cking Care.  As in:

Patient: Female. Age: 78.  Presented: Hot flushes, swollen tongue, racing heart, low blood pressure, tingling down right side, loose finger nails.  Diagnosis: DFKDFC.  Treatment: Amoxyl 3 times daily.

Tell me you are joking?


Don't worry I was struck off ten years ago.  We're living in a nanny state in the UK.

I keep my hand in by euthanasing pets as a kind of hobby.

But they're closing me down again.

Apparently you need a licence.
