MYOB Mind Your Own Business

How could I forget MYOB? There are some colorful variants to this that call for the inclusion of an A at the end and/or an F in the middle.

You can figure it out.

There is agreat book with these abbreviations, one by Salman Rushdie (the Sea of Stories or alike - read it in French) - sort of a parody of Middle East fairy tale. Every single act by the characters at o some point refers to an abbreviation like the LTWAFE - Law of the Those Who of Always Forget Everything
Great book and great abreviations, and for once Rushdie does not do aggressive politics in every paragraph.
