Most years, I try to be a gardener. I spend a couple days in the spring turning and doing soil prep, plant, then go to camp and come back in the fall to find only weeds. So WTF became " Where's the food?"
When I worked at the hospital, one of the techs wrote on a piece of equipment NFG. One of the nurses took offense to that so he explained it was "Not Functioning Generally". She was embarrassed.
I thought it was "Expanding". Not sure where I got that from.
I always thought ER stood for Extended Range.

@Susquatch : I ended a text off to someone on shore with “gotta go to the ER stat - we’ve had a failure”. Person called me right back asking if I was injured - WTF says I - ER is Engine Room - Duh! Hahaha
Many years ago, when I was in grade school, prior to calculators, our math class was working on long division. Numerator over denominator. One not-very-swift kid just couldn’t get it. Those of us of a certain age can remember when teachers had no restraints.
Teacher screams “NUMERATOR OVER DENOMINATOR!” “NUMBSKULL OVER DAVID!” NOD. A good acronym lasts forever.

I'm the same vintage. Both highschool and undergrad university predated calculators.
As I recall it, the teachers who had no restraints whatsoever back then (especially in Catholic Schools) meant numbnuts over denise.
The important one in the shop.

The basic functions of Trigonometry.
Sine, over Opposite and Hypotenuse. Cosine, over Adjacent and Hypotenuse, Tangent, over Opposite, and Adjacent.
Same with EIR, and PIE for electric calcs.
E= voltage
I=Current
R=Resistance
P= power in Watts
Draw them out, put your finger on the one you wish to find for, and the equation presents itself.
E
---------
I | R
To find E, I*R.
To find R, E/I
To find I, E/R

Funny, I say this in my head every time I do trig, but never learned it as an initialism.
