SMIT. Google 'ibm smit' for details. Worst piece of smit I ever used. We used to say, "SMIT happens".

It may reflect a poor attitude, but I've always liked DILIGAF. ( does it look like I give a f***?)

DILLIGAF is pretty good, although there are some topics on which you do... How about G.U.T.S. (Guzzi Universal Timing System). When at university in the seventies, I joined the Australian National Union of Students (A.N.U.S.) at the Swan Hill Institute of Technology ('can't remember the acronym for that one)!

[Huzo]

My favorite was from above the mantle behind the bar at the South Gate Tavern in Highland Falls, NY:

IITYWYBMAD
(If I tell you will you buy me a drink)

It cost me a shot of Jameson's to learn that one...

Just outside Albury which sits on the Victorian NSW border is a town called Ettamogah, that's nothing special in itself but it occurred to me that if spelled backwards it's an acronym for "Hagomatte" further translation for non Aussies it means "How are you going my friend". Just a theory...
