Whilst researching yesterday’s second WOMBAT, I came across another acronym even more contrived that the first: BADGERS - Building Analysis Datasets and Gathering Experience Returns for Security - was the name given to the Second Open Workshop for the WOMBAT project. Given that badgers have some superficial similarities to wombats, being “short-legged, heavy set” animals of similar size, I think that you can retroactively fit a connection so this one’s a post hoc.
For their commitment to contrived acronyms, I think the WOMBAT team deserve the second Outstanding Contribution To Acronym Generation Or Notoriety (OCTAGON) award.
[NB. This is not the first BADGER in ORCA.]
