@Jens_Rasmussen @kaia from nowhere. That's fine. That can be the new meme, to replace recursive hacker acronyms. If people can get away with GNU = GNU's Not Unix, then people can get away with CUTE = Computers + Tech + Engineering.
The "haha let me explain the joke to you" step that recursive acronyms require is also required here, and not different in any way.
Q: why did you mess it up?
A: I messed it up on purpose

@apropos @kaia The joke of a silly acronym is just not clever at all if the acronym doesn't fit, which is why ASSFAGGOTS is such a good one, since longer acronyms are harder than shorter ones.
