Barbara vdB Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory [Emphasis mine] OK, PARADIGM I understand, but PARADIGN? And what did you mean by Abtuse? Obtuse? or Abuse/Abusive? Sorry to seem picky on a silly thread. (But at least you know I read yours instead of just skipping over it!) Spell Checker Helps Our Online Loyalists OK so I had to fiddle one, couldn't think of abetter. As for Abtuse- it's not Obtuse but a word similar that starts with A, and this Cafe comp doesn't have spell check that I can find. Also remember English/Australian/American spelling has variations of spelling of the same words. Apart from that ,some words I just can't spell. But at least you are reading them which means that I have a chance of driving you sane. Abject grovellings Weldun, SWORD was in Sundog's game.

Kirby Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory BACON - Bay Area Criminal Operation Negotiator. Is this a Canadian organization? FUBAR - Federal Unit Basic Armed Response. SNAFU - Sponsored North American Fighting Unit You inspire me: TARFU - Training Armed Response Fighting Units. This is the group that trains SNAFU agents into FUBAR agents. Thus you go from SNAFU to TARFU to FUBAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane_Marlowe Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory Others have used SWORD for other stuff, I created this one: Superhuman Warfare Offensive Response Division: It's a SHIELD homage, but it operates much more like the Directive if you've ever read that book from the Aberrant series. Incidentally, I tend to think that projects are going to be given codenames that are suggestive, even if they're not necessarily acronyms. I may name some group Project AEGIS and not worry about whether it means more than its etymology suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Celt Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Re: S.H.A.R.D. - Super Hero Acronym Resource Directory I used to have U.N.I.C.O.M. - an UNCLE/UNTIL/SHIELD like organization. It started out during the Korean War as United Nations International Command, Organization and Mobilization, for coordinating the multi-national units into a cohesive whole. French was the required language for contributed troops. During the sixties it was restructured to United Nations Intelligence, Counter-terrorism and Organization Matrix, the form it keeps to date. It's three branches run towards (respectively) intelligence gathering, military action on the micro scale, and peace keeping action on the macro scale. Tradition holds with French continuing to be the required language for agents and troops. It has a convoluted command structure but ultimately reports to the Secretary General and the Security Council. Inter-branch rivalry and politics as well as the fluctuating support of international emotions makes it a thankless job with few above-board desired results. Agents tend to be ends- instead of means-oriented, and clandestine to a fare-thee-well in a CYA mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
