27 - Tidbit for the day

I was doing a wikipedia lookup on a word I was using (found out it was the wrong word BTW) and stumbled on the concept of backronyms.

Found this one as an example on the list of backronyms page:

Apgar – a brief medical examination of new-born babies – was named after the doctor who introduced it but can be understood as an acronym for Appearance (skin color), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace (reflex irritability), Activity (muscle tone), Respiration.

I love Wikipedia… )
