JFK
This one has been making the rounds recently. It was used in a NEW YORK
POST story about "The Real Kerry."

At St. Paul's, a posh prep school in New Hampshire, Kerry was not popular. On
the hockey team, he was called "Keep-the-Puck Kerry" because he didn't like
to pass to his teammates as he skated toward the goal. Barging into pickup
games on the school's frozen ponds, he was known for stealing the puck from
younger boys and shooting it into the woods. At a Republican Episcopalian school he
was a Democrat and a Roman Catholic who worshiped John F. Kennedy. The boys
reportedly joked that his own initials—also JFK—stood for "Just For Kerry."
(Kerry told NEWSWEEK that the nickname is "bogus," made up a few years ago by a
mean-spirited Boston Globe columnist.) Prep-school boys of that era were not
supposed to grasp or grind; the ideal was "effortless grace." Kerry committed
the cardinal schoolboy sin of showing his ambition.

SAT
"SAT" means just that. It no longer officially means "Scholastic Aptitude
Test." It could just as easily mean "Kentucky Fried Chicken."
The new movie THE PERFECT SCORE tries something for "SAT," but I forget
it. "Satisfying And Tempting"? One web site has "Scholastic Apparel
Tribulation." Has anything else caught on?
