Shucks!  What about:

TGIF				The goal, come this Sunday PM, 117 hours and counting
FIIGMO			"Fuck it:  I got my orders"
DILLIGAS			Do I look like I give a shit?
IIFY				Is it fun yet?
NATO				The "yea" guys in Europe
SEATO			Many years back, the "yea" guys in South-East Asia
UN				Untied Nations
UK				a nation adjoining Wales, to the east of Ireland and to the south of
Scotland
US				that which separates Mexico from Canada
HUMV				Zoomy things troops run about in
QUANGO			The post office, &c

Nary a three-letter group in the lot of them.  Acronym, I fear, must remain
...
