I was wrong about James Thurber being the author of the book illustrating wine connoisseurs' descriptions of wine. It was by Ronald Searle, famous for teh St Trinian's cartoons and books, subsequently made into movies way back when. Tne name of the book is Winespeak.

I tried a Google image search but although soem of the illustrations are there, they really only make sense when you read the wine descriptions.

Searle also published another book of cartoons called Slightly foxed But Still desirable, illustrating the terms used by sellers of antiquarian books. My favourite illustration in that book had the caption, "Name on fly", meaning that a previous owner had written their name on the flyleaf or the inside of the front cover. The carton showed a humongous, ugly fly with "Albert" written on his body.

I know this slightly off topic but someone in the thread mentioned wine descriptions and it reminded me of the book.

To get back on topic, another acronym I heard years ago is WOFTAM, waste of f#@%ing time and money.
