Re: Weirdest acronym?
TOCOTOX = Too Complicated TO eXplain (often used to not explain one's silly argument)
NTTAWWT = Not That There's Anything Wrong With That (acronym of a 'Seinfeld' line referring to gay relationships, and the PC response - lately used disparagingly to mock PC'ness).
IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer. (Often followed by "but..." and some crappy legal advice).
chat-speak on AOL (I have relatives who've been on AOL ten years now, and (silly guys) PROUD of it). They use these in email to me, and get perplexed when I ask them to translate.
Edit to add:
NOITAU: No offense intended toward AOL users..
Edit2 to add the classic too-long acronym: 'TANSTAAFL'. Free beer at my house to the one who can explain it, it's origin, and why it's "too long".

TLA - Three Letter Anacronym
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
