The electrical engineering meeting I'm listening in on is so stuffed full of three letter acronyms is sounds like a monte python parody.

Our main client was a government agency that loved acronyms. One of their senior managers finally banned them from all Powerpoint presentations. I loved it, but it drove the presenters crazy.

There was so much jargon in our technical meetings that I made buzzword bingo cards to make the meetings more fun. Acronyms were a big part of it!

Once in a meeting I asked what the acronym stood for and no one knew.

@JimboSaturn I was in a meeting about the NSFNet and a colleague presented numbers in bps, but I asked and discovered she *meant* Bps...so the bps jumped by a factor of 2^3...

@SomeMichGuy bits vs Bytes. Eight bits per Byte for those scratching your heads. Does anyone use octal anymore?
