the world over features its own brand of insider amusing coded language
and quirky communications. None of this is directly intended to cause offence, neither does it necessarily serve to be an accurate indication of service levels or the qualities of the organizations involved, moreover as you will notice, some no longer exist. Instead they were likely created at moments of creativity or by way of a travellers frustrated expression to have a laugh. Some of these acronyms
or more precisely 'backronyms' and can be potentially offensive, so if you are very easily offended, then this is not a recommended read. Here goes in alphabetical order…
