WTF

Whisky Tango Foxtrot?

While studiously researching the proper capitalization of Taekwondo (a matter fraught with peril, as it’s a romanization of a Korean term as transmogrified by the Japanese and can rightly be regarded as three separate words), I ran across something that made me smile: the World Taekwondo Federation, aka WTF.

Another amusing pair of acronyms I ran into recently include Better Approach to Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (BATMAN) and its closely-related protocol Routing BATMAN Inside (RO.B.IN). This pair goes from doubly funny for the individual super-hero references to triple funny for the dynamic-duo pairing to quadruple-funny for having Batman inside Robin. Hoo, boy. Gary and Ace would be proud.
