Everyday acronyms seem to have different meanings on Fab ... for example we all know that BBC is the British Broadcasting Company but here it means, well, something far more sausage like.
So I'm just wondering what the Fab meaning of other acronyms might be? For example, ITV, WWF etc.
Just curious. Over to you ... ![](/icons/s/wink.gif) |

Did you know that to be an acronym, the abbreviation must be able to be said as a word in its own right. BOGOF and RADAR are acronyms, BBC and ITV are initialisms. |
