thank you i was spaghetti walling and none of my backronyms were fitting
Cannelloni-Vermicelli Exploration program? You know, to find out what happens if you mix both on the same plate? Will the Italians assassinate you before you can take the first bite? Will the pasta annihilate as soon as they touch? Will it be delicious? Who knows, and now we will never know.
Fascinating series of words I've never heard before
Spaghetti walling - I think this is another way of saying "throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks", my guess from the old wives tale that you can test the doneness of spaghetti by seeing if it sticks when thrown at a wall.
Backronym - an acronym that was made by first deciding what the finished acronym should be, then working backwards to decide what it should stand for. Usually used by NASA nerds to make cool sounding projects or by politicians to make evil shit sound friendly and benign.
Hey, my wife isn't that old!
Very cool
Very legal.
One of my favorite authors is PG Wodehouse and if I ever inadvertently phrase something like him I consider it a good day. He has 9 gazillion novels, 2 plots, and all of them are worth reading because of the way he can turn a phrase.
