Lesser known acronyms?

[SourChipmunk]

I'm trying to compile a list of words that are really acronyms (or initialisations), though most of the people don't know they're acronyms. This is for a Friday Night Beer Drinking Trivia Game I'm working on. All happy OcUK assistance will rule!

Examples: Scuba and Laser - most people don't realise they're acronyms. What other words fit this category?

And the more we come up with off the top of our heads, the better.

edit: and don't post the answers. This can be trivia for all of us as well. Put http://www.acronymfinder.com in your blocked sites.
