I have a weird thing where I'll know an acronym that's close to another one, confuse the two, and come up with a new acronym that doesn't exist or make sense, but it "works" and then the rest of the context is just off.
The latest victim of this is "Assigned Cis At Birth"
Now that that's out in the world, I'm sorry that someone else is going to do the same thing...

This is known.
In my area of specialty, Identity and Access Management, one of the recent fads is Attribute Based Access Control. I always do a little double take when there's a serious conference topic going over ABAC.
