Back in the 70s I was a computer programmer writing a program to replace a 
system with the awful acronym SLURP. I called my system SARA for Simply Another 
Ridiculous Acronym. It went live, a great success, I was summoned to meet the 
IT director who asked what does SARA stand for?  Simply Another Ridiculous 
Acronym I said. Yes, he replied, but what does it stand for?  You can’t win.
