Line 11:
** How could you forget I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.?
* When Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. first appears in the first ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'' film, he doesn't use the acronym of his organization when talking to Pepper. The best part is, apparently they didn't notice the coincidence:
{{quote| '''Coulson''': I'm Agent Phil Coulson with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.<br />
'''Pepper''': That's quite a mouthful. <br />
'''Coulson''': I know, we're working on it. }}
* In ''ROTOR'' (a horrific [[B-Movie]] rip-off of ''Robocop''), the title character stands for '''R'''obotic '''O'''fficer '''T'''actical '''O'''peration '''R'''esearch.
Line 45:
* From ''[[Blue Thunder]]'', JAFO ('''J'''ust '''A'''nother '''F'''ucking '''O'''bserver), used to refer to the chain of observers that Frank Murphy is said to go through because of his behavior. The viewer isn't made aware of the expansion until {{spoiler|after Lymangood gets killed}}.
* From ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'':
{{quote| '''Jay:''' See this badge? It says N-Y-P-D, which means I will '''N'''ock...'''Y'''o...'''P'''unk-ass...'''D'''own.}}
* In the T&A comedy ''H.O.T.S.'' the name offically stands for "'''H'''elp '''O'''ut '''T'''he '''S'''eals."
* In ''[[Star Wars]]'', TIE fighters were called that because the original TIE fighter looks like a bowtie. It canonically stands for '''T'''win '''I'''on '''E'''ngine.
