So here we are in a conference room and the vendor is going on and on about TNA compliance, and most of us are trying to hold back giggles wondering - did he just say what I think he said? And what does this feature have to do with T&A?

Our company has a program which rewards people within the company for coming up with new product or business ideas. The process involves a few steps that begin with submitting a form describing your idea.
Eventually, to see if the idea would benefit our customers, it's reviewed by the "Customer Advisory Council"...The CAC. And people don't say "C" "A" "C". They say "The CAC"
The first time I heard our VP of engineering mention "The CAC" was in an all-hands meeting with several hundred of my closest engineers. I don't know how I managed to stifle my laugh.
