When YAA doesn't quite convey your frustration with the number of acronyms modern society uses, you can use YABA instead. "Yet another bloody acronym" includes a British swear, so people who know what YABA means will know you're very upset about acronyms.
Why does YABA exist?
That's a very good question. You would think people who hate acronyms would find a better method of expressing their anger than coining YABA. YABA is, of course, intended to be used ironically. But at the end of the day, it's just another bloody acronym that acronym-haters have to memorize.
