My favourite is TLA - Three Letter Acronym. I used to work in Plessey's and they used them so often they had to give them a name.

just to do the geeky thing.....
these are all abbreviations.
simple abbreviations are just that, GPO, RAC, IBM etc
acronyms form a word, POLO, NATO etc

things like KISS keep it simple stupid, are both a mnemonic and an acronym.
ROYGBIV for the rainbow colours is just a mnemonic.
