Yale undergraduates have found that the acronym for their health service
says it all--DUH for Department of Undergraduate Health.  The University
has tried to change the title to Yale University Health Services, but
"DUH" has an amazing sticking quality.  My favorite recent abbreviation,
however, remains the stock market initialism for the new internet
start-up, "Phone.Com," which shows up on the board as PHCM.  Apparently,
the traders love yelling that one out...
