K.E.V.I.N meet M.I.L.F

Zadie Smith's novel White Teeth featured a terrorist organization called "The Knights of the Eternal and Victorious Islamic Nation (KEVIN)" whose members acknowledged that they had "an acronym problem."

Who needs art when you have life? There is a Philippine Islamic separatist group called the "Moro Islamic Liberation Front" (M.I.L.F). This means that individuals can be described in newspaper reports this way "Mohamed Iqbal, chief M.I.L.F. peace talks negotiator" I know how he feels: I frequently find myself in peace talks with MILFs.
