[referee]

If someone uses your idea before you, the normal thing to happen is your post coming after theirs...

Just for fun, I thought of this baseball related version:

PIRATES - Pittsburgh Inhabitants; Really Awful Team Every Season

Though they might prove me wrong this year...

Or if you prefer football to baseball:

NFL - Not For L.A.

[Suspence]

The PIRATE poll has ended with a tie between:

Port Immigrant, Rough Around The Edges ( Elethiomel)
Privateer Invader, Raiding And Taking Everything (Suspence)

Since I came up with the word, I think Elethiomel should be declared the winner.

El, would you like to suggest a new word? If so, I'm happy to change the thread title and run the poll once we have some submissions.

Alright, not sure how to pick a good word here, but let's try IRONY.

[Suspence]

Sounds tough, but we'll give it a go.

Personally, I would refer to the things constructed as Acrostics rather than Backronyms, but that may just be my puzzling tradition speaking. I am not sure exactly how backronyms are supposed to differ from acrostics.

[Amb]

In Reality Obama's Not Yankee!

[Suspence]

I don't know that there is a difference. That Wiki page refers to backronyms. "Players enter a channel hosted by a bot which runs the game. In each round, the bot generates a random acronym. Players compete by racing to create the most coherent or humorous sentence that fits the acronym - in essence, a backronym."

Anyhow, for IRONY, all I've got is:

IRONY - I'll Read Oedipus Next Year

And Scurra does one of the possibilities I was thinking of...well, close, anyway.

I have 3 to choose from and I don't really like any of them. Still thinking...

[Thok]

Incongruity, really! Or not, yeah.

[Suspence]

Poll is up and set to end in 2 days.

It's a tight race so far...

I don't think I stated this as a rule, but I should have:

You may not vote for your own submission. Even if it's clearly the best one (which I'm sure it is )

I voted for my own and believe that if I hadn't Thok would have won by now.

[Suspence]

Let's declare Thok the winner.

Thok, care to pick a new word?

WHere's the poll gone? What were the final numbers?

[Suspence]

Sorry, I guess I should have saved those for posterity. I removed it after it ended and a winner was declared. I can move the results into the first post from now on.

Incongruity, really! Or not, yeah.

and

Itslike Rain ON Yourweddingday

both had 3 votes. The rest had 2 or 1, no 0s, IIRC. 11 votes total.
