Picture Acronym for DIE

Funny Acronyms - to make you Smile

Building Acronyms is another one of my favorite pastimes. They are usually formed by using the initial of each word in a group, such as from :North AtlanticTreaty Orgnaization we derive the acronym NATO. I like to create funny acronyms however just for fun, obviously.

The list below is populated by 'reverse acronyms', I call them. They are fun to think about and build, because we start with the acronym by supposing that each word IS the acronym and we try to bring out a meaning of some sort, Thesaurus style - sometimes funny and often far-fetched. Actually the 'reverse acronym' is not a meaning but rather an 'association', a group of words that may make you think of the word. A 'BEE' is a "Buzzing Energetic Extractor". The 'association' is important because it would not be interesting at all just to say that BEE stands for "Book Editing Exercise", for example.

I keep adding new ones here from time to time putting the most recent at the bottom of the list. I also encourage you, gentle readers to add your own acronyms in 'Comments' below.

I think that it would be fitting to start with the word 'Acronym' itself.

The acronym is an 'invented' word that anyone can make up. It helps us to remember something or a series of things. For example a student needs to remember the important points for an essay called "My Holiday Abroad" that he is preparing for an exam. In the first paragraph he/she writes about the plane trip. The second paragraph the arrival, the airport, the hotel. Then comes a description of the city where they are staying, Rome for example. The things that they saw and did, the restaurant where they had an excellent meal, etc. After preparing and studying the essay at home, all the student has to remember is the acronym "TART" (T from trip, A from arrival, R from Rome and T from things).

Hi Anupam Mitu, Thank you for liking the acronyms. I have not visited Hubpages for many months now. Other things to do... How is life in Mumbai? I live in Gozo, Malta...

Hi Ranyele,

I do not know how I did not see your comment before. I often check for comments. I'm glad that you liked Gozo, that's where I have always lived, apart from a short holiday abroad now and then. The buses today are very punctual and efficient, if fact we are a little proud of the service nowadays. I agree that the drivers here sometimes act in a crazy manner. Perhaps it is the heat of summer that goes to their heads. lol. And yes, no crime that's a blessing. Perhaps it's because the Island is so small and there is no place for 'bad' people :)

Ranyele on January 21, 2015:

I went to Malta a few years ago and it is such a lovely place. it is very basic in ameietins etc but that adds to the experience and the people there are so friendly. It is a small place so wherever you stay you will be in easy reach of historic sites and other activities that you are wanting to do. I got the boat to Gozo. It is definitley worth a visit. Its actually quite a surreal place to go. people leave their keys in their front doors because there is no crime!! very different from here!i dont know about transport. we took taxis everywhere as the public transport seemed to just arrive whenever (didn't really stick to its timetable). We were going to hire a car but the driving over there is very scary, hehe. on the way to our hotel a car drove straight into our bus and then after a few raised voices both drivers just carried on as if nothing had happened. very strange!!

Hi AshleyC, You have built the acronyms but I see no connection, for example "made of money" does not make one think of MOM (except perhaps on rare occasions) :) I have a MOM above which is better I think = = Mother of Mine. However, thanks for your contribution.

This afternoon my granddaughter was playing the piano. She is still in level 1 but I like to hear her play. I love music and its soothing effect. So what is Music.... This is how I try to build them. Sometimes I succeed and I end up with a good one. Other times they are not so good. Find a word beginning with M that is connected with music ...Melodious Melodies. Then the same for U .... Unision Universally. And so on ... Soothing Sung Struck , In Inside, Chimes Chiming Choirs Chorus. And I chose "Melodies Universally Sung In Chorus". See it above.

Yesterday I saw the film : Jack the Giant Slayer. I liked it a fantasy of adventure and I liked the actors too, especially Jack and Isabel. In the cast there was also Ewan McGregor who played a great part in the film. Both Jack's father and Isabel mother rightly emphasised that Giants do not really exist. So let me try the Acro of GIANT .... Generally Imagined Actually Non-existent Titan.

Ok, Kason Henderson, DoLo and all others who agree with them ... now I see it. The acronym for Delta (the American Airline) is approved and it's good, I admit. Thanks :) Now try another one.

DoLo on June 21, 2013:

"...delta is primarily the mouth of a river where it opens into the ocean. Thanks."

or it's a major American airline. Therefore, DELTA: Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive, is a valid acronym and has a connection since they are known for losing luggage and having slow service.

Tony, it's not so good I'm afraid.
