From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   YABA /ya'b*/ n.   [Cambridge] Yet Another Bloody Acronym.
   Whenever some program is being named, someone invariably suggests
   that it be given a name that is acronymic.   The response from those
   with a trace of originality is to remark ironically that the
   proposed name would then be `YABA-compatible'.   Also used in
   response to questions like "What is WYSIWYG?"   See also {TLA}.
