A couple years ago this crazy long acronym went around in IRC channels for a while, I was trying to find it, but I couldn't anywhere....

Has anyone heard of this or knows where I can find the thing in it's entirety?

It is like 50+ letters long and has this whole story all built into an acronym, it's pretty funny...

GOoooooooooooooooooooooogle.


The world's longest acronym, according to the Guinness Book of World Records is NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOMONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT. The 56-letter acronym (54 in Cyrillic) is from the Concise Dictionary of Soviet Terminology and means "The laboratory for shuttering, reinforcement, concrete and ferroconcrete operations for composite-monolithic and monolithic constructions of the Department of the Technology of Building-assembly operations of the Scientific Research Institute of the Organization for building mechanization and technical aid of the Academy of Building and Architecture of the USSR." The longest acronym according to the 1965 edition of the Acronyms, Initialisms and Abbreviations Dictionary is ADCOMSUBORDCOMPHIBSPAC, a United States Navy term that stands for "Administrative Command, Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet Subordinate Command."

well you stated 50+ letters this is 56 (or 54) so that fits your description.
Also since this is the Guiness record Id believe it over an IRC copy/paste

Nah, to get it into the book they would have had to repeat it twice over a measured 10-mile course, in opposite directions, all in a one hour period.
