My favorite is GNU Hurd, a mutually recursive acronym!

GNU stands for GNU’s Not Unix.
I thought it stood for PCP.
There’s a joke in here about them essentially covering up the old name and PHP’s reputation but I don’t feel like starting a sledge thread over PHP when JavaScript is right there lol.

Penis
