Help: need a cool acronym.


Pages : [1] 2 3

Hey talented, creative, helpful people (and sheep)... we need an acronym. For a secret international para-military investigative outfit of the UFO hunting, commando raid doing, persuasion, an acronym is required. Must be humorous, but not plain stupid.

I dun thought o' this:

UNSEEN - United Nations Supernatural Event E-something N-something.

If only investigation was spelt "envestigation" we'd be cooking with gas. But it ain't, and we ain't.

How about M.T. & G.R.E.E.T.S (pronounced Meet & Greets) as in the first people to get flown in when something touches down.

Military Tactics & Global Response Extra Terrestrial Elimination Squad

Okay, yeah! GREET I like! Just one thing, Juzzza...
Global Response Extra Terrestrial Elimination does spell GRETE.

Oh yea, try Military Tactics & Global Response, Espionage Extra Terrestrial Squad

Then there's nothing these boys wouldn't be involved in!!!

Althought MT & GRETES could still be pronounced Meet and Greets.

Extra-terrestrial Liasion, Interception Observation & Termination

This is cool, as in the movie E.T. it was Eliot (spelled differently I know) who was the E.T.s first contact and was also the 'human'. So the E.L.I.O.T.s are the team you mention ;)

Okay...maybe a tad corny, but you did said humorous, and corny can be funny sometimes...;)

National Extra-Terrestial Investigation & Liaison Agency

N.E.I.L.A

Which as we all can plainly see has its joke when spelt backwards...oh, and the first 4 letters just happen to be my name! :)
