What do you stand for?
Go to Acronym Finder, enter your three-initial monogram, and see what it stands for.
Mine is JMR:
Journal of Magnetic Resonance
Journal of Marine Research
Jason Microwave Radiometer
Joint Movement Request (US Army transportation)
Aside from this silly game, the site is a pretty useful tool if you deal with a lot of alphabet soup technical acronyms in the course of your work.

This thread reminds me of being a kid in NZ in the '60s, when each screening was prefaced by a recorded rendition of "God Save The Queen".
