Acronym FAIL

Then there are acronyms that are quickly tossed aside because of the embarrassing nature of them.
The United States Fleet was an organization in the United States Navy from 1922 until after World War II. The acronym CINCUS, pronounced "sink us", was used for Commander-in-Chief, United States Fleet. This title was disposed of and officially replaced by COMINCH in December 1941 (for "Commander-in-Chief", U.S. Navy).
One can understand the rush to drop that acronym after December 7th.

Another character responded, "Good thing."

"K-K-K? That's not good..."
