The tangled web we weave

German attempts world's most tenuous acronym screams the Rag. The story is that people keep coming with with phrases for projects to make the acronym come across as some common word at the expanse of ahem "decency".
I beg to differ. What's the harm in innocent verbal jugglery? Compared to that typical hacker speak -I believe employed more often by bored adolscents- this is almost a work of art. Hell Shakespeare made a name for himself by using the language in a very original way. After all, language is one of human kind's bigger achievements (and many a kid's worst but thats a separate posting).
