Careless acronyms with naughty consequences

Let's say...

National University Democracy Excercise

So, "we will have NUDE events next week."

One might want to call it an "initiative" instead. Then someone appointed a staff trainer...

So, "they appointed me to be a NUDIST"

And so on...

NOT intended to be political, it's just that my mind semi-randomly selected the words as first match for a backronym from respective collections of letters that seemed to made some lick of sense. A native speaker could have way more fun with this. (Although, political adjacent academia in international context would be where I would expect some such to arise somewhat naturally and survive in unironic usage long enough...)

Yes, and wouldn't you just bet that some pathetic, crass moron in their publicity department has been in financial clover ever since for his invention of such in-your-face unsubtlety.

Nah, he was salaried, the company owns the copyright.

I believe you mean "registered trade mark"... and there are still such things as bonuses and promotions given commonly, as OOzing said, for bright ideas which make money for a firm.

I don't know what it's like in the US, but here in the UK there is a well-known syndrome where an employee passes on to "greater things" - usually a position he/she is totally incapable of filling - as the result of having thought up some bright, new, bushy-tailed idea which inflicts general misery on both former co-workers and the company's customers. Someone ought to give it a name...

That's funny. I saw a Tweet that goes in the same vein.
"My grandmother said she was attending her first sex party and asked me what she should bring.

After some carefully-worded questions, my reply was "It's called a gender reveal party, grandma."

Heh, imagine that story in reverse - someone gets invited to what they think is a gender reveal, and instead it’s somewhat kinkier. Add in a mobility handicap - perhaps on a yacht heading out into international waters to keep ‘em from just leaving.. and it could make for any number of titillating tales.

Grannie gets invited accidentally and you could have Mature, Incest, Fetish, etc.

a young couple and you can get group, loving wives, noncon, exhibitionist, bdsm… just about any type you prefer to write about

It's... Genital Entertainment Nude Diversions Extraordinary Recruits reveal party, where Genital Entertainment Studios presents from general public recruited "guest stars" of it's ongoing Nude Diversions (adult) TV show. And yes -- it's a good opportunity to jump in that role for the next season.

Yes. Discussions like,

Was he just passive supporter, or had he a lot of contacts with the MILF? What the true Gaddafi relationship with MILF was?

...overheard by third persons uninitiated on specifics of specific acronym usage.
