  YABA  /ya'b*/  n.  [Cambridge]  Yet  Another  Bloody  Acronym. 
  Whenever  some  program  is  being  named  someone  invariably  suggests  that 
  it  be  given  a  name  that  is  acronymic.  The  response  from  those  with 
  a  trace  of  originality  is  to  remark  ironically  that  the  proposed  name 
  would  then  be  `YABA-compatible'.  Also  used  in  response  to  questions  like 
  "What  is  WYSIWYG?"  See  also  {TLA}.
