in the ongoing acronym game, ASp whinges, "1. let's not use the acronym as a word in its expansion". I once conducted a search for a word to describe self-referential, multi-layered and/or recursive acronyms.
what can you guys come up with?
Or DADO=DADO And DADO Only
SPIRAL - Special Projects In Recursive Acronym Logos
(If one may slither into that shadowy netherworld of semantics...)
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
at least I don't bleat, I merely hissss
I'm not looking for examples or an acronym which suggests
but an aptual word to describe... <sheesh>
<sheesh>
What! You expect people here to attualŪ answer the question you asked?<talk aboutcher sheesh>
i figured that if
you hadn't found such a word, we were going to have to make one up! and what better than an acronym!
that'll teach me to be creative...
How bout "recursive acronym"?
Another example FRL:
NEAR=Near Earth Asteroid Rendevous
WINE = Wine Is Not an Emulator.
Hofstadter's
Contracrostipunctus
Acrostically
Backwards
Spells
"J S BACH"
(Not to mention "GOD over Djinn")
