when letters dont stand for what you think

im going to start keeping a list of all the acronyms i see that the nerd in me cant help but think medical things, when in reality the opposite is true. like for example:
from todays CNN:
"ANC on course for South Africa landslide" where ANC stands for absolute neutrophil count. what their ANC stands for, i have no idea. which is worse?

TB does not stand for Tampa Bay, it stands for tuberculosis. i am the opposite of cool.
