Sometimes I'm talking to someone and they use Acronyms/Initialisms whose last word is a noun, but which are sometimes used as adjectives and the final noun stated separately.
I forget what they're talking about because they just sound so silly.

An example would be
"I hope I remember my PIN Number when I get to the ATM Machine."

Anyways at work when someone says something like 'BMS System' or 'VSD Drive' a few of us seem to exclude that person from the remainder of the conversation and we start talking crap like usual and throw in as many other Acronyms as we can followed by the word represented by the last letter.

So does anyone have any others that we can use, we're desperatly running low on new material.

EDIT: Never mind I found an existing thread...

Not acronyms just bad terminology in common usage are comments like like "baby ducklings", or "baby puppy" since Duckling and Puppy are the baby of their species any way.
Another is when someone works "long hours" - often wonder how they compare to the 60 minute ones the rest of us work.
