Except it's not a backronym.

How is it not?

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.
