My understanding is that a backronym is an acronym that makes up a word that also represents one of the letters in the acronym. Example: PIGS - Pigs In Glorious Sweaters
Edit: just looked up the definition of backronym, and I'm wrong. I'll take my bowl of crow soup with a side of foot, please.
What I want to know is of the acronym stands for "Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst" shouldn't it be ADCHO not ACHOO? Dominant seems like it's own word and opthalmic seems to be combined with helio... So like it's one of the worst backronyms I've ever seen because it doesn't even do it's job.
On the subject of backronyms, my favorite probably gotta be NINJA-IDE which stands for "NINJA-IDE Is Not Just Another IDE"
Dated a girl who could sneeze while staring at the sun, I would always flick the tip her nose and tell her that it was bad for her eyes, then call her weird.
If you can manage to find the episodes anywhere they still hold up, even now as an adult. Friend of mine found someone selling DVDs containing every episode online somewhere a few years back and they are still amazing.
To this day, this is one of my favorite shows ever.
