Backronym
[edit]@Metaknowledge Would you call this a backronym? It's giving a new expansion to an existing acronym. —CodeCat 19:13, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- And why is it uncountable - can't you have two of them? SemperBlotto (talk) 19:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I suppose it is a backronym by our definition; I have always used the term in a more restricted sense. And as for uncountability, it's usually used to refer to the type of bomb, not a single example of the type (though as more of these are used, I suspect countable uses will become citeable as well). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:51, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
