I think that this is one of the most annoying characteristics of English: why can't they just say what they want to say! Of course other languages have a bit of it but not. comp. to ENG. It is a real nightm.

Thank you benzinah for taking so much trouble. Just goes to show how misleading all these acronyms can be, doesn't it?

some definitions........
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym used particularly (but by no means exclusively) by the British tabloid press to describe the Wives And Girlfriends of the England national football team. It came into common use during the 2006 World Cup, held in Germany, although it had been used occasionally before that.
| *** | WAG | Welfare for Animals Guild (Sequim, Washington) |  |
| ** | WAG | Wager A Guess | |
| ** | WAG | Washington Avenue Grill (White Rock, BC, Canada) | |
| ** | WAG | Wide Area Grid | |
| ** | WAG | World Area Grid | |
| * | WAG | Woman Aggie (Texas A&M University) | |
| * | WAG | Wise Ass Grin | |
| * | WAG | Weapons Attack Guide | |
| * | WAG | Wellsville, Addison, and Galeton Railroad Corporation | |
| * | WAG | Worldwide Analysis Group (wagsys.com) | |
| * | WAG | Wolkswagen Audi Group | |
| Note: We have 128 other definitions for WAG in our Acronym Attic |
And that was just the first things I found.
