Wordsworth Dictionary of Abbreviations & Acronyms

About this book

Like it or not abbreviations and acronyms are now an essential ingredient of everyday life. Since the first edition of The Wordsworth Dictionary of Abbreviations & Acronyms was published in mid-1997 the compilers have been diligently collecting further examples from many walks of life - including for example such gems as DISH: Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (the result of eating too much protein which causes the vertebrae to fuse aka Friar Tuck syndrome) GROLIES: Guardian Readers Of Limited Intelligence in Ethnic Skirts IYDLAOTMTFOAHABM: If You Dont Like Anything On The Menu Then F Off And Have A Big Mac (seen at The Talkhouse Stanton St.John Oxford) and ROMP: Radical Office Movement Policy (at Pearl Assurance where moving from one desk to another is alleged to reduce clutter).
