That word is ‘Belgium,’ and it is only ever used by loose-tongued people like Zaphod Beeblebrox in situations of dire provocation."
Used to do this to our nosy secretary…..told her that the profit ratio used to determine a company’s advertising budget was a “Veeblefetzer quotient.” A short while later, we overheard her telling the owner that a certain company had a “good VQ.” P.S. Used to catch her going through the trash…

I loved the line from Modern Family where Phil thinks he’s so hip it the kid’s lingo. He said that WTF meant Why the Face.

With all caps, I couldn’t tell that those were acronyms. Initialisms without vowels would work better.
