It does, thanks. Though the value of an acronym that requires five
letters to express the same meaning as a single three-letter word
rather escapes me.
That's outdone by "www", which has three times as many syllables as the
words it's abbreviating.
I pronounce it "dub-dub-dub".
"wibble" has a long pedigree and even fewer syllables.
