It was awful: "Space-Radio Synthesis [with a] Large 'Y'" or some such.

And then, the SKA was split in two: half in Australia, and half in South Africa.

So it didn't hold up at all, but at the time, it was fun.

I could name a few:

BBT - big beautiful telescope

SHT - seriously humongous telescope

WTF - wide-aperture telescope fleet
