Unfortunate Acronyms 1

[SantaMufasa]

I was just reading a news article of charitable giving in Uganda in which the writer made reference to the National Union of Displaced Persons in Uganda (NUDIPU). Here in the U.S., verbally articulating that acronym would cause people to believe you were talking about what happens in "Biffies at Naturist Camps".

It made me reflect on how badly the school sweatshirts would have looked had the chain of tech schools gone with the first-choice name for their organization: Stevens-Henagar Institute of Technology. <grin>

Back in the 1930's FDR created a farming "co-op" of sorts. It was called the Southern Tenant Farmers Union.
