I coined the word yart in this post:
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=4097
it was coined in jest, as one of my pet peeves is the ridiculous overuse of acronyms in my work and initialisms on the 'net. having said this, I must add that I take a certain proprietary pride that this makes the 451st post to use, abuse or justify the word (not counting posts that referred to it without actually using it).
I'd be mortified if it were to be obsoleted.
