DOOFAAS

DOOFAAS stands for Dumb Or Overly Forced Astronomical Acronyms Site. A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this site the other day, very funny and actually quite useful when you want to figure out what the hell some of these acronyms mean... acronyms are the scourge of modern astronomy (well I think they are)... but at least some of them are funny (e.g. FATBOY). Take a look at the site [here].
