Backronyms are fun.

There ought to be one of those quipy laws to the effect of "assume any acronym other than the name of an organization is a retronym until proven otherwise.

I kinda always thought it was the plural of new. Like "hey, I got a whole buncha news for ya'! A whole paper full of one new after another."
