acronym problems

My workplace has a little problem with acronyms.

A major department was recently renamed Acquisitions and Serials Services, and everyone does actually refer to it as ASS.

Today we are hearing the State of the Libraries Address, an annual talk by the director. This is commonly referred to as the SOL address - which to me implies Shit Outta Luck.

Which, given the budget situation this year and for the forseeable future, is not wrong...

We used to have a major program, "PMS." Eventually all us women in Legal got them to change it to PMP.
