The act of creating an organization less for actual merit than for the sake of creating a hilarious pun.
Real world examples
- Biomedical Library Acquisitions Bulletin (BLAB)
- Farmers Against Ridiculous Taxes (FART)
- Pipe Organ Owners and Players (POOP)
- Collection, Receiving and Pickups (CRAP)
- First Action In Learning (FAIL)
Other TLAs and XTLAs of note
- Design-Induced Error (DIE)
- Perl Object-Oriented Persistence (POOP)
I am sure this goes on a different page, but one must not forget totally unintentional acronym humor such as the following"
- OGPU - Ob'edinennoe Gosudarstvennoe Politicheskoe Upravlenie which was mocked in Pogo's "Okeefenokee Glee n Perloo Union"
