Back in the 70s I was a computer programmer writing a program to replace a system with
the awful acronym SLURP. I called my system SARA for Simply Another Ridiculous

asked what does SARA stand for? Simply Another Ridiculous Acronym I said. Yes, he
replied, but what does it stand for? You can’t win.
LUV IT!!
I too invented an acronym for a program I created. Not as cool as yours, and slightly awkward wording, but OSCAR is
still alive and well decades later. To my amazement, it even survived being on the wrong end of a corporate acquisition.
Since it displays highly proprietary operating information, no one outside the high echelons of a big company will ever
see it. No fame. :-)
