We've already had "USSR". I make a friendly recommendation that anyone who hasn't done so make a quick scroll through the thread to refresh their memories.
As the thread now extends to four pages, I doubt that many people will remember some of the already-used acronyms, and few of us have the time to go through them all. As the originator of the thread (and as a host) I suggest that it doesn't matter if the same acronym is used more than once, as it's unlikely that two posters will come up with the same alternative.
