All except VHS, which I did not know what the "H" stood for. I wasn't absolutely sure about the "A" in AT&T, but my second choice was correct.

Ok, I had no idea AT&T stood for anything. Unless it's somehow short for, Too Fucking Big to Train Our Customer Service Employees so we Hire Morons with no Grasp of the English Language.

But I don't think that works.

VHS

VHS
"Video Home System" The lack of cleverness evident in the name for the current consumer videotape standard is a perfect match for the lack of image quality attainable within this tape medium. Of all the different tape formats that have been introduced over the years (nearly all of which are superior in quality), VHS was the one that was accepted as the universal standard for distribution of video content to end users. Marketing superiority often takes precedence over technical superiority, and never has this been more evident that in the case of the ubiquity of VHS devices.

Do you freaking work in a Post House or something?

No. I just keep everything.

I read the answers before I checked myself, but I wouldn't have known AT&T, IBM, VHS or ICBM.
