OK - WTF is VAM?

It's not in the Internet Acronyms Dictionary and I think it was in another thread around here but no 3 letter searches so...

No

I pronounce it to rhyme with "bam" or "jam".

For me it is still an initialism. And I'd be perfectly fine if it went away, though I am amused the few times it has been used in response to what someone else has said.

It's taken on a life of it's own, Alex. Before long it will be in the dictionary, along with 'the word formerly known as iSm's favorite expression of disdain'.

God forbid iSm ever gets it all bass-ackward and says "hem"...
