What does S.M.A.E.A. mean?? My own creation!

So I came up with this saying and that's the accronym*. What do you think it stands for??? It's nothing vulgar so "Don't go there"!

Here's a hint: It relates to the K.I.S.S. theory! (and I don't mean the rock group! )

Take your best shot!

keep it clean though!!

:D

Ok here's another hint

The longest word is 6 letters long!!!

Please make a guess, you'll like what it stands for I promise!

Ok Heree's a hint, I'm assumiong you all know what K.I.S.S. means, Keep It Simple St*pid.

Ok so, One of the words is Simple, in fact the first word is Simple!

The third word is "Are"

SMAEA makes an easy acronym

So far Karl is the closest with 4 out of 5 words right!

In Second place is Katie_93 with 3 out of 5 words right!

Well I guess my "subtle" hint in my last message was too much!!! If you can't guess, Michael Murphy and Wetzel are the ones who correctly guessed it... and in the same minute as well a indicated by the Post time!!

Well now that I've had my fun, you can all go and read another thread!!!!

Look for that personal slogan of mine to appera in my signature in the near future!!!

Later all you Hep Cats!

Oh ok I get it now!! lol

Is that like calling it an ATM Machine. It's a little redundant don't you think???

Brandon Martus

04-03-2002 12:34

Not really, but I see your point about the 'AT Machine' :)

Quote:

recursive acronym

<convention> A hackish (and especially MIT) tradition is to choose acronyms and abbreviations that refer humorously to themselves or to other acronyms or abbreviations. The classic examples were two MIT editors called EINE ("EINE Is Not Emacs") and ZWEI ("ZWEI Was EINE Initially"). More recently, there is a Scheme compiler called LIAR (Liar Imitates Apply Recursively), and GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix!" - and a company with the name CYGNUS, which expands to "Cygnus, Your GNU Support".

Not exactly. It'd be like calling an ATM an ATM teller machine.
