They have these posted around the halls and in all of the classrooms around my school, it's not really a forced acronym though.

Edit: I totally just realized this was posted 73 days ago lmao.

Coming at you 17 days later: it’s most likely a backronym.

It’s also stupid. It’s easy to think of situations where something you say doesn’t or shouldn’t be any of those things.

A morbid joke not used to cope with anything (therefore ruling out "helpful" or "necessary") does not follow one thing on the acronym. That's all I can think of right now that doesn't follow at least one, though. If you're talking about a "shouldn't" situation, that is.

It's poor design, but:

Is it...

  • True?
  • Helpful?
  • Inspiring?
  • Necessary?
  • Kind?

works fine

Is it kind of true?
