Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!

I need a name for the workorder system I’m making at work, but I can’t figure out anything that’s worth using, so I’m turning this into some sort of contest. The name needs to fit the following criteria:

  • It needs to be an acronym. (N.A.T.O. is an acronym)
  • The acronym itself has to be professional. (It can’t be E.A.T.P.O.O.P. or anything)
  • The words that make up the acronym can be (and bonus points if they are) non-professional, childish, offensive, funny, etc.
  • The acronym must spell something or almost spell something.
  • The acronym must be a reasonable length — don’t acronym-ize the preamble.
  • The acronym must stand for 2 things – the real thing and something I tell people around the office it stands for.

The winning acronym will be used by around a hundred people on a semi-regular basis. If it’s funny enough, it’ll greatly improve my mood around the office, so I’ll give the winner a cookie.
