Where I work, TLA is used a lot.
Example:
Rob: "What's that thing hanging off the vertical residifier called?"
Paul: "You mean the frangistat?"
Rob: No, no ... it's some TLA (Three Lettered Accronym).

I was told by a phone company exec that they beat the military w regards to acronyms. Dunno how true it rreally is, but if youve ever been involved in that business, you'd believe him.
