Edit Eta beat me by a few seconds, so to avoid confusion, I've deleted mine.

Two suggestions:

1. let's not use the acronym as a word in its expansion
and
2. unlike those benighted souls at Straight Dope, let's continue to try to make an effort to make the expansion have something to do with the initials. More of a challenge that way, ¿danyet?

Yeahbut® which continuing word does the next person expand? You have "previous", I had put another word (which I'll save for another time). OK, mine was Famously Entertaining Wankers.
