Yes, one time I was thinking acronyms might be effective for the same kinda concept, with the added benefit of the mnemonic. We already have TC, BoT, ITD, HTs, WWJD, TV, DtB, etc. So some more could be a useful shorthand for common sentiments, f'rinstance...

MOP-ROMP = Mean Old Purists Rained On My Parade
SAD-ONE = Self Appointed Defender Of Newbie Excesses

DONT = Dat Object Not Tiki
ANTENNA = A Nice Try Except Not Necessarily Art
MIAMI = Marvelous, I Almost Mean It!
AHA-PAL = Already Have And Paid Alot Less
PEA-SOUP = Planning Ebay Auction, Seeking Optimal Upper Price
DOLLARS = Dear Opinion-makers, Look Like Auction Reserve Suitable?
SALAD = Stop Analyzing, Let's All Drink
WINE = When Is Next Event?
CRAP = Conflict Restricts Attending Party
