Medicine has some of my favorite acronyms:

SOB = short of breath
MOB= medical office building
MOM = milk of magnesia
MOD = mode of death
ASS = anterior superior supine
SAD = seasonal affective disorder or social anxiety disorder
OOF = out of facility

And so forth....

Dude, that was a song from Captain Sensible in the 80's. It was called, "Wot?"

"They said 'Captain!' I said, 'Wot?'"
"They said 'Captain!' I said, 'Wot?'"
"They said 'Captain!' I said, 'Wot?'"
"They said 'Captain!' I said, 'Wot you want?' (Wooooo!)"
