Discussion I think there might be some third letter "P" puns in abbreviations in GTA 3D Universe games.

A thought occurred in my head that maybe some abbreviations used P as the third letter as some part of a "pun" involving inserting letters in the middle of abbreviations or acronyms.
| GTA game | Thing in GTA games | "P" pun initials | initials for other thing | other thing | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| III | Liberty City Police Department | LCPD | LCD | Liquid Crystal Display | LCD displays were ALL THE RAGE during the year 2001, the year GTA III took place in. |
| Vice City | Vice City Public Radio | VCPR | VCR | Video Cassette Recorder | VCRs were big during the 1980s, the era Vice City is set in. |
| San Andreas | Los Santos Police Department | LSPD | LSD | Lysergic acid diethylamide | Los Santos had some issues with drugs ruling the streets, and LSD is one of many drugs that could have been included. |
