You just don't understand what it's like to be a teenager!

I don't book my face, I haven't ever had a reason to.

Target audience.


Lobby Lud was a fictional character invented in August 1927 by the Westminster Gazette.
Anonymous employees of the newspaper would visit seaside resorts. The newspaper would print details of the town, a description of the appearance of that day's "Lobby Lud", and a particular pass phrase.
[..]
Other newspapers such as the Daily Mirror ran similar schemes – "You are (name) and I claim my five pounds" – the most well-known challenge phrase, seems to date from a Daily Mail version which ran after the Second World War.

Excellent Trivia Moment:

The DFS sofa shop chain is not in fact a sofa shop. It stands for Derbyshire Financial Services, and concerns itself primarily with loans. The sofas are just a good expensive item to draw people in.

PROCEED.

My sofa wasn't expensive, it was actually very reasonable. But then, I bought mine from the company that used to be called Direct Furnishing Supplies.

TWAIN isn't actually an acronym it was literally between two items and was turned into an acronym later by a smartarse.

RAW isn't an acronym either and although it's accepted in it's capitalised form, it still irks me somewhat.

And it's also the most comfy sofa! Next to my cream one of course, you can sink into that *sighs*

That's not so, I'm afraid. DFS doesn't stand for anything.

I believe this is contended; the accepted definition these days was that it was a backronym from the Rudyard Kipling quote "and never the twain shall meet" but someone who was in the original standards group reckoned that it was always a jokey acronym. [citation needed], sub please check.

For those who don't know, the jokey acronym in question being "Technology Without An Interesting Name".

... this is why I should do research instead of trusting certain elements with my shadowy network.

Grim... is probably referring to the legal technicality that also meant "MG" never stood for Morris Garages, no matter how much people looked at Mr Morris, and his Garage, and his "MG" brand.

You cannot trademark an acronym (or an initialism I guess), so they will always steadfastly refuse to admit that anything stands for anything.

Except that DFS was formed after Northern Upholstery bought a bankrupt company called Direct Furnishing Supplies...

So yes, it doesn't now, but it DID.
