  YABA /ya'b*/ n. [Cambridge] Yet Another Bloody Acronym. Whenever some
     program is being named, someone invariably suggests that it be given a
     name that is acronymic. The response from those with a trace of
     originality is to remark ironically that the proposed name would then be
     `YABA-compatible'. Also used in response to questions like "What is
     WYSIWYG?" See also {TLA}.
