Ask HN: Cringe Acronyms

I accept FANG or FAANG to represent "big tech businesses", for me it's not really about which companies are included or not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech#FAANG Lately, also in HN comments, people started using GAMAM, MAMAA and such.

i10n, i18n, but I've also seen k8s for Kubernetes

With the recent-ish renamings, we could now refer to big tech as "MANA", which is kind of cool. Plus that way we'd all get to enjoy the spectacle of watching Alphabet and Amazon argue about which one came first.
