MEGO
I like this one, offered to me by a lady in Jamaica as she backed away from a patented political Omni-rant:
MEGO (My Eyes Glaze Over)
...especially because the acronym describes the consequence of the phrase.

God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ”Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’
--Ann Coulter, Fox-TV: Hannity & Colmes, 20 Jun 01

Re: SPOOYA: a request for Ifen
Bingo! You got it the first time. I've yet to hear back from Ray on that. Actually I had forgotten about it. The SPOOYA served as a trip wire to remind me. Thanks!

A couple more
In order to dodge club-wielding admins, I`m thinking of starting a new trend when replying. E.g.
KJR (knee-jerk reaction): you blithering idiot
followed immediately by
RR (rational reaction): I can`t grasp your point. Can you make it a little clearer?
Oops,I noticed RR has been hijacked by the Religious Right. Better make it RatR.
Edited by Nighttrain, : Keeping up with the trends

Re: A couple more
Naught to do with you, RiverRat. Elsewhere in EVC, the Religious Right is referred to (in shorthand) as RR. RatR is an abbreviation of Rational Reaction.
peace, bro

Why not ICGYP ...
although I would prefer
DYHAP -- do you have a point?

Okay... when I first saw ABE, I searched the whole damned Internet to figure out what it meant, and still came up with nothing. Bored to tears of trying to find out what it meant, I went to sleep and had a dream in which the meaning was conveyed to me through... oh wait, that didn't happen ... but it WAS a pain in the ass (PITA?) trying to find the deffinition .
So, I agree with that upper class gorgeous woman: writing like a monkey with too many Taquillas's under his belt is down-right ridiculious. I thought (until a few minutes ago when I read this thread) that IMHO meant "in my honest opinion"... no wonder my replies weren't often recieved well... I've not had any idea what the Hell you people were saying since I got here .
OCTJMO
ANBE (added not by edit): I've not a clue how to spell most words larger than eight letters... so sit me down to those monkeys and let's get typing . We'll make some Shakespear one of these days .

Re: Joycean prose
Thanks but I do not live on PLANET Pluto but somewhere on this page.
Robin is probably correct that there are some double parens here.
If I find an anagram in a "Y"chromsome, I'll let ya all know.
Thanks for the comments all.
