So, I'm working on my NaNo, and an organization in the novel is called the International Racing League or IRL.

Who else has included unintentionally unfortunate acronyms in their work before?

I think the only unfortunate thing about my acronyms is their length... I've got a story that involves the NYCLE and the NYCLEHOL.
But I have a friend on Gaia whose roleplay guild, Songs of Bards, could have the acronym SoB. Which, I'm told, is an acronym for a not-so-polite phrase in your language.

My main hangout thread has the acronym LOLWHAT. It was on purpose. I tend to select the acronym before the name.

My initials make the word DAM, but never come across
any odd acronyms in my writing.
