WTF, ППЦ и прочие акронимы

Использование акронимов в общении через интернет очень популярно. Такие сокращения как LOL (laughing out loud, laugh out loud), IMHO (in my humble opininon), ROFL (Rolling On the Floor Laughing), ASAP (As Soon As Possible), OMG (Oh My God) легко узнаваемы. Ими пользуются не только носители английского языка, но и интернет-пользователи со всего мира. У сетевого сленга много названий: Internet slang/ language, Internet Short-hand, leet, netspeak, chatspeak.
Занятная история о влиянии netspeak-а представлена в блоге languagelog. Итак, "жила-была" с 1979 года Wisconsin Tourism Federation, сокращённо WTF. Конечно, в те далёкие годы эта федерация не могла предугадать, что впоследствии будет означать акроним WTF. А расшифровываться как "what the fuck" он стал с середины 1980-х (есть ещё и варианты why/where/whatever/who the fuck). В итоге, Wisconsin Tourism Federation была вынуждена изменить своё имя на Tourism Federation of Wisconsin.

Воодушевившись вышеизложенной историей, я решила поискать подобные примеры в рунете. Первый акроним из модного (увы, модного...) ныне сленга, который мне вспомнился - ППЦ.Сейчас ППЦ больше известен как "пипец", хотя он расшифровывается и как "полуцприцеп-цистерна", "производственно-продюсерский центр", "Польская православная церковь" и др. Но, кроме того, в Нижнем Тагиле есть НОУ ППЦ "Гений" - психолого-педагогический центр, занимающийся ранним развитием детей (вот его сайт: http://center-geniy.ru/). И, похоже, своё название ППЦ "Гений" менять не собирается.
