Network Dictionary – Acronyminy

acronyminy – (akkro – nim – ih – nee)

The disjointed sensation of knowing what an acronym means, but not remembering the exact words because you have used it so often you no longer think of it as an abbreviation.

aka, “What does the acronym OSPF stand for ? Uh, protocol 89, uses multicast on a broadcast networks, has 5 message types, classless routing protocol ”

“I can’t remember what is stands for though!”
