You can often find the meanings of them by typing them into your search engine.
I believe it all started with "LSMFT" and has gone downhill ever since!

An interesting side note, maybe. When I started at NASA, they issued me a two-volume set of official NASA acronyms - with regular supplements issued as needed. I attended many engineering meetings where the entire conversation consisted of nothing but verbs and acronyms. In their defense, if they had to voice the entire meanings every time, the meetings would have never ended.
(In Volume Two, I discovered that RAAB in NASA-speak refers to a Remote Audio Access Box. No kidding.)
I'm glad no one mentioned me🙄
I remember those NASA acronyms from Alan Shepard. "A-OK." My fourth grade English teacher was not pleased with that word.
