* Upped To Eleven as pretty much every single main character with Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' ('''W'''aste '''A'''llocation '''L'''oad '''L'''ifter · '''E'''arth Class) has one(i.e. '''E'''xtraterrestrial '''V'''egetation '''E'''valuator, and the '''M'''icrobe-'''O'''bliterator).

* In the first ''WesternAnimation/Madagascar1'', Alex and Marty are reuniting on the titular island in slow-motion, and Alex slowly turns angry as he runs towards Marty (as he is why they got stranded on the island in the first place). When Marty realises this he turns the other way (still in slow motion) and yells "Oh, '''S'''ugar '''H'''oney '''I'''ced '''T'''ea!"

* In the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'', Alex and Marty are reuniting on the titular island in slow-motion, and Alex slowly turns angry as he runs towards Marty (as he is why they got stranded on the island in the first place). When Marty realises this he turns the other way (still in slow motion) and yells "Oh, '''S'''ugar '''H'''oney '''I'''ced '''T'''ea!"

* ''Film/{{M3gan=]}}: The titular character is a ''M''odel-''3'' ''G''enerative ''AN''droid

* ''Film/[=M3gan=]'': The titular character is a ''M''odel-''3'' ''G''enerative ''AN''droid

* ''Film/[=M3GAN=]'': The titular character is a ''M''odel-''3'' ''G''enerative ''AN''droid

-->'''Jay:''' See this badge? It says N-Y-P-D, which means I will '''N'''ock...'''Y'''o...'''P'''unk-ass...'''D'''own.

* ''Film/ShinKamenRider2023'' had fun giving [[EvilOrganization SHOCKER]] the acronym '''S'''ustainable '''H'''appiness '''O'''rganization with '''C'''omputational '''K'''nowledge '''E'''mbedded '''R'''emodeling.

* In ''{{Film/Noelle}}'', Gabe develops a computer program that determines whether someone is naughty or nice: FALALA, the '''F'''orensic '''A'''lgorithm for '''L'''ateral '''A'''nalysis of '''L'''atent '''A'''ltruism.

* In ''{{Film/Noelle}}'', Gabe develops a computer program that determines whether someone is naughty or nice: FALALA, the ''F''orensic '''A'''lgorithm for '''L''ateral '''A'''nalysis of '''L'''atent '''A'''ltruism.

* In ''{{Film/Noelle}}'', Gabe develops a computer program that determines whether someone is naughty or nice: FALALA, the 'F''orensic '''A'''lgorithm for '''L''ateral '''A'''nalysis of '''L'''atent '''A'''ltruism.

* In Creator/PeterJackson's first film ''Film/BadTaste'', the heroes are part of the '''A'''stro '''I'''nvasion '''D'''efense '''S'''quad.

* ''Film/ParanormalPrison'': When Sara corrects Matthew about the name of the Syncrotronic Kinetic Energy Pattern Testing Computer to Park Ranger Shtog, Matthew calls it the "[=SKEPTC=]" for short.

* [[UpToEleven Upped To Eleven]] as pretty much every single main character with Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' ('''W'''aste '''A'''llocation '''L'''oad '''L'''ifter · '''E'''arth Class) has one(i.e. '''E'''xtraterrestrial '''V'''egetation '''E'''valuator, and the '''M'''icrobe-'''O'''bliterator).

* The Film/JamesBond films had the evil organisation SPECTRE, which was the '''SP'''ecial '''E'''xecutive for '''C'''ounterintelligence, '''T'''errorism, '''R'''evenge and '''E'''xtortion.
** ''Probably'' subverted with the fancy-sounding but as far as we know, not acronymmy QUANTUM.
*** Memorably homaged in ''Film/CarryOnSpying'', which featured the evil organisation STENCH (the Society for The Extinction of Non-Conforming Humans) and the more ambiguous SNOG (the Society for the Neutralising Of Germs..."I've always fancied doing a bit of [=SNOGging=], meself!").
* Kevin Smith's ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' feature the '''C'''oalition for '''L'''iberation of '''I'''tinerant '''T'''ree-dwellers, described as an offshoot of the '''L'''iberate '''A'''pes '''B'''efore '''I'''mprisoning '''A'''pes movement. (Justified in-universe. The members of '''C.L.I.T.''' ask Jay to describe his cunnilingus technique on-camera, and send the video to the news media to set Jay up as the "C.L.I.T. Commander".)
** Making for an... ''interesting'' [[CensoredForComedy news report]] on their actions...double entendre, here we come...
*** The CLIT does not exist. By the way, in RealLife, there's '''M'''oro '''I'''slamic '''L'''iberation '''F'''ront.
* ''Film/IntolerableCruelty'' features the '''N'''ational '''O'''rganisation for '''M'''atrimonial '''A'''ttorneys '''N'''ationwide, which boils down to NOMAN, although to do so it has to repeat the part about being national. This seems kind of irrelevant until you find out the organisation's slogan: "...let NOMAN put asunder".
* ''[[Film/TheNakedGun The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear]]'' movie featured several organizations opposing solar power with names that result in incredibly ironic acronyms: the '''S'''ociety of '''P'''etroleum '''I'''ndustry '''L'''eaders (S.P.I.L.); the Nuclear Power industry's '''K'''ey '''A'''tomic '''B'''enefits '''O'''ffice '''O'''f '''M'''ankind (K.A.B.O.O.M.), and the '''S'''ociety for '''MO'''re '''C'''oal '''E'''nergy (S.M.O.C.E.; that is meant to be pronounced "smoke").
* In the satirical movie ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'', it was quite simple for the filmmakers to change the name of the '''S'''creen '''A'''ctors '''G'''uild -- which already has a pretty unfortunate acronym -- to the '''F'''ilm '''A'''ctors '''G'''uild.
** How could you forget I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.?
* The first movie of Brazilian group Casseta & Planeta: an anarchist is trying to name his group. First option goes "PIROC" (something like "PRIC" - "No, not that! Who'll want to get into the PRIC?!"). The following two, "METE" and "CHUPA" ("put in" and "suck"), are only liked by their depraved hostage. So he decides to put something that would encompass each member of the group - '''P'''arty '''A'''narcho-'''N'''ationalist '''A'''nti-meat (a radical vegetarian) '''C'''arlos (surname of the other guy) - '''PANAC''', which with an "a" at the end would be "dork" in Portuguese (the hostage thought it fit the group perfectly!).
* ''Several'' in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', most involved with Tony Stark.
** ''Film/IronMan'': Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., he doesn't use the acronym of his organization when talking to Pepper or Tony. The acronym isn't used until the very end of the movie (possibly to try to keep viewers from guessing it). Later works establish they were already called S.H.I.E.L.D., so either that's a {{Retcon}} or deliberately saying it out was a meant as a personality quirk of Coulson's.
--> '''Coulson''': I'm Agent Phil Coulson with the '''S'''trategic '''H'''omeland '''I'''ntervention, '''E'''nforcement and '''L'''ogistics '''D'''ivision.
--> '''Pepper''': That's quite a mouthful.
--> '''Coulson''': I know, we're working on it.
** ''Film/IronMan'' also introduces [[BenevolentAI J.A.R.V.I.S.]] Supplementary material reveals that this stands for '''J'''ust '''A''' '''R'''ather '''V'''ery '''I'''ntelligent '''S'''ystem. Given that ''Series/AgentCarter'' reveals that (like in the comics) Jarvis was the human butler to Howard Stark, it is entirely possible that Tony named the AI after him, and came up with the acronym later.
** ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' introduces Ton's back up (female) A.I., F.R.I.D.A.Y. Once again, supplementary materials list this as being for '''F'''emale '''R'''eplacement '''I'''ntelligent '''D'''igital '''A'''ssistant '''Y'''outh. Just like with J.A.R.V.I.S., there's a chance that Tony thought of F.R.I.D.A.Y. first (to make her a literal GirlFriday) and only thought up an acronym later.
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', '''B'''inarily '''A'''ugmented '''R'''etro '''F'''raming, better known by its acronym B.A.R.F., is a prototype created for therapeutic pursuits [[spoiler:allegedly]] by Tony Stark.
** ''Film/SpidermanFarFromHome'': Peter is given an A.I. assistant named E.D.I.T.H., which stands for [[spoiler:'''E'''ven '''D'''ead '''I''''m '''T'''he '''H'''ero]]. Promptly lampshaded by Happy, who comments on how Tony loved acronyms. [[spoiler:The villain is also the ''real'' developer of B.A.R.F., who among other things [[PlayedForDrama is pissed about the name Tony gave his invention]]]].
* In ''Film/{{ROTOR}}'' (a horrific BMovie rip-off of ''Robocop''), the title character stands for '''R'''obotic '''O'''fficer '''T'''actical '''O'''peration '''R'''esearch. ...Except for one scene where it's displayed on a computer screen and the last 'R' is changed to "Reserve". Hilariously, at one point Podcast/RiffTrax uses it as a FullNameUltimatum for the title character.
-->'''Dr. [[IncrediblyLamePun Coldyron]]:''' R.O.T.O.R.!\\
'''Bill Corbett:''' Robotic Officer Tactical Operation Research, you get up here right now!

* People who weren't fans of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequels had a ball with pointing out the acronym of ''Episode III'' to be ''[[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Star Wars: ROTS]]''.
* In the ''Film/JamesBond'' spoof ''Film/OurManFlint'', Derek Flint is a former agent of the '''Z'''onal '''O'''rganization for '''W'''orld '''I'''ntelligence and '''E'''spionage. He battles the evil organization Galaxy, which in a relative stroke of creativity, appears not to be an acronym for anything.

* Everyone knows that HAL 9000 ('''H'''euristic/'''Al'''gorithmic), the sentient computer in the movie ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' is named such that if you take the next letter after each letter in its name, you get Creator/{{IBM}}. Leonard Wheat, in his book ''Kubrick's 2001: A Triple Allegory'', argues that this is not a coincidence (in spite of Arthur Clarke's insistence). Wheat plausibly explains the origin of the 9000 in the name, and also goes on to argue (convincingly!) that the moon monolith's official designation of TMA-1 should actually be spelled "TMA ONE" and is an anagram for "NO MEAT". Wheat's [[http://www.underview.com/bhpinsights.html web page]] suggests that the AE in the troublesome "AE 35 unit" in the film stands for Aeolus. Big fun with acronyms.
** Incidentally TMA stands for Tycho Magnetic Anomaly, since the first monolith was buried in the Tycho crater on the moon and was discovered only because it produced odd readings in the moon's magnetic field. This mentioned only in the book (kinda self-explanatory, though).

** Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''. [[NonindicativeName The male one can fly.]] Interestingly, the "species" is referred to as Muto rather than M.U.T.O., the acronym.

* In the ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' [[Film/{{Watchmen}} movie]], [[spoiler:Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias]] uses a device called "SQUID" to [[spoiler:destroy New York City and several other cities]]. What does "SQUID" stand for? Sub-Quantum Intrinsic Device. "The squid" is the fan name for [[spoiler:the giant tentacled alien creature that destroys NYC in the original graphic novel]], and the name was inserted into the movie either as a MythologyGag referencing the book's original ending or a salt-in-the-wound attack on an overprotective fanbase.
** It seems that a SQUID is a real-world device, although it really stands for "Superconducting Quantum Interference Device" Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID
* ''[[Film/{{DEBS}} D.E.B.S.]]'', which stands for '''D'''iscipline, '''E'''nergy, '''B'''eauty, and [[strike:Schoolgirl fetish]] '''S'''trength, but is actually short for 'debutantes'.
* The '''D'''eadly '''V'''iper '''A'''ssassination '''S'''quad or [[Film/KillBill D(I)VAS]] (er, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg plus Budd]]).
* The Franchise/GIJoe movie, ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'', has a lot of changes from the source material (much to fans' displeasure), one of them being that the "Real American Heroes" are now international. "G.I. Joe" was a reference to World War II-era General Infantry units, with "Joe" a generic moniker; with the name retained for the movie despite the "American" part going out the window, the creative minds behind the movie decided to shoehorn in an appropriately awkward acronym. Feast your eyes upon the '''G'''lobal '''I'''ntegrated '''J'''oint '''O'''perating '''E'''ntity!
** Actually, GI seems to have started out as an abbreviation for 'Galvanised Iron' military equipment, then for 'General Issue' equipment and adopted in that sense by the troops for themselves, not 'General Infantry.'
* ''Film/GlengarryGlenRoss'': '''A'''lways '''B'''e '''C'''losing; '''A'''ttention '''I'''nterest '''D'''ecision '''A'''ction
* In ''Film/TheAvengers1998'', one of the villain organizations is named the '''B'''ritish '''R'''oyal '''O'''rganization for '''L'''asting '''L'''iquid '''Y'''ears. "Brolly" is British slang for "umbrella", which is appropriate since the plot of the movie involves weather control.
* ''Film/{{Accepted}}'' dealt with the exploits of a group of would-be college freshmen, who after being rejected from all the colleges and universities to which they had applied, proceed to "create" their own "college": The '''S'''outh '''H'''armon '''I'''nstitute of '''T'''echnology (S.H.I.T).
** Undoubtedly derived from the persistent [[UrbanLegends urban legend]] that claims that a Texas college was nearly named the '''S'''am '''H'''ouston '''I'''nstitute of '''T'''echnology (or '''T'''eaching).
* In Creator/PeterJackson's first film ''Film/BadTaste'', the heroes are part of the '''A'''stro '''I'''nvasion '''D'''efense '''S'''quad.
* In the 1987 film remake of ''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'', starring Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks, they uncover a sinister organisation named 'P.A.G.A.N.' - '''P'''eople '''A'''gainst '''G'''oodness '''A'''nd '''N'''ormalcy.
** [[spoiler:P.A.G.A.N. is led by Reverend Whirley, who is also the founder of M.A.M.A, the '''M'''oral '''A'''dvance '''M'''ovement of '''A'''merica.]]
* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' with the '''F'''lint '''L'''ockwood '''D'''iatonic '''S'''uper '''M'''utating '''D'''ynamic '''F'''ood '''R'''eplicator, or FLDSMDFR. Flint insists on pronouncing the acronym despite how clumsy it sounds and soon enough everyone follows suit.
* The Film/TransformersFilmSeries gives us NEST. Unfortunately, there are conflicting explanations for what the acronym stands for - it's either '''N'''etworked '''E'''lements: '''S'''upporters and '''T'''ransformers, '''N'''onbiological '''E'''xtraterrestrial '''S'''pecies '''T'''reaty, or '''N'''onbiological '''E'''xtraterrestrial '''S'''pecies '''T'''eam, depending on the source.
** Confusing, especially since there's a real-life NEST: '''N'''uclear '''E'''mergency '''S'''upport '''T'''eam.
** There's also N.B.E.-1 ('''N'''on-'''B'''iological '''E'''xtraterrestrial), the Government's designation for the frozen remains of Megatron.

* [[UpToEleven Upped To Eleven]] as pretty much every single main character with Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' ('''W'''aste '''A'''llocation '''L'''oad '''L'''ifter · '''E'''arth Class) has one(i.e. '''E'''xtraterrestrial '''V'''egetation '''E'''valuator, and the '''M'''icrobe-'''O'''bliterator).
* From ''Film/BlueThunder'', JAFO ('''J'''ust '''A'''nother '''F'''ucking '''O'''bserver), used to refer to the chain of observers that Frank Murphy is said to go through because of his behavior. The viewer isn't made aware of the expansion until [[spoiler:after Lymangood gets killed]].
** There is also the Blue Thunder's official designation as [[OperationBlank Project T.H.O.R.]]: '''T'''actical '''H'''elicopter '''O'''rdinance '''R'''esponse. [[spoiler:Fitting for a BlackHelicopter designed to quell riots by DeathFromAbove.]]
* From ''Film/MenInBlack'':
-->'''Jay:''' See this badge? It says N-Y-P-D, which means I will '''N'''ock...'''Y'''o...'''P'''unk-ass...'''D'''own.
* In the T&A comedy ''H.O.T.S.'' the name offically stands for "'''H'''elp '''O'''ut '''T'''he '''S'''eals."
* In ''Franchise/StarWars'', TIE fighters were called that because the original TIE fighter looks like a bowtie. It canonically stands for '''T'''win '''I'''on '''E'''ngine.
* According to [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]] ([[http://www.pasivdevice.org quite literally, in this case]]) for ''Film/{{Inception}}'', the device the characters use to administer sedatives and facilitate the sharing of dreams is called the '''P'''ortable '''A'''utomated '''S'''omnacin '''I'''ntra'''V'''enous Device.
* The low budget ''Film/CaptainAmerica1979'' film staring Creator/RebBrown had the SuperSerum '''F'''ull '''L'''atent '''A'''bility '''G'''ain.
* In ''Kiss Of Death'', Little Junior claims to have an acronym for himself: B.A.D. for "Balls, Attitude, Determination". He suggests Jimmy Kilmartin (who's secretly informing on him) get one too - since he's spent most of the film as the ButtMonkey, Jimmy gives the snarky suggestion of "F.A.B." for "Fucked at birth". [[spoiler: What seems like just a comic moment turns out to be important later, when Jimmy finds his missing young daughter... with "BAD" written on her forehead]].
* ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'': Catwoman masqueraded as a writer from the Moscow Bugle named '''K'''itayna '''I'''reyna '''T'''atanya '''K'''erenska '''A'''lisoff...but suggested that Bruce call her KITKA for short. He even commented that it was a charming acronym.

* In the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'', Alex and Marty are reuniting on the titular island in slow-motion, and Alex slowly turns angry as he runs towards Marty (as he is why they got stranded on the island in the first place). When Marty realises this he turns the other way (still in slow motion) and yells "Oh, '''S'''ugar '''H'''oney '''I'''ced '''T'''ea!"
* ''Film/PacificRim'': "Chasing the RABIT", or '''R'''andom '''A'''ccess '''B'''rain '''I'''mpulse '''T'''riggers.
* ''Film/PumpUpTheVolume'': In an effort to shut down Christian Slater's guerrilla radio broadcasts, the school board and the police created a fake student outreach program to draw his attention. The program was named BIONIC: "'''B'''elieve '''I'''t '''O'''r '''N'''ot, '''I''' '''C'''are!".
* The title of ''S.I.C.K. Serial Insane Clown Killer''. Phrasing it that way for the sake of a catchy acronym induces a bit of Main/AmbiguousSyntax - It's a movie about [[MonsterClown an insane, serial-killing clown]], not a serial killer who only targets insane clowns.
* ''Film/GSaviour'': The nation that replaces the Earth Federation is CONSENT, or '''Con'''gress of '''Se'''ttleme'''nt''' Nations.

* The 2008 remake of ''[[Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill2008 The Day the Earth Stood Still]]'' turned "Gort" into an acronym by the military, which stands for "'''G'''enetically '''O'''rganized '''R'''obotic '''T'''echnology". We're supposed to accept that a robot can have genes. Even one of the characters thinks that the acronym is ridiculous.
* In ''Film/SuddenImpact'', Harry's partner Horace calls him a "jamf" twice before Harry asks him, "What the hell's a 'jamf'?" Horace replies, "That means you're a Jive-Ass [[CurseCutShort Mother--]]" "Forget I asked!"
* In ''Camp Takota'', Jared plans to turn the title girls' summer camp into a camp focusing on social media, or as he calls it, a "'''D'''igital and '''I'''nteractive '''C'''amp": As Maxine points out, this means that he's going to "specialize in dick". He's already gotten customized t-shirts made, which means that the two main antagonists spend the whole film in matching shirts that read "DIC".
* ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'': "H is for hurry...E is for [[ShoehornedFirstLetter ergent]]...L is for love me...and P is for please help!"

* In ''Film/JoesApartment'', Joe has a job interview with a urinal cake manufacturer called P.I. Smith & Sons. It starts out seeming like a StealthPun up until he gets the job, and is given a bright yellow uniform with "P.I.S. & S" in big letters on it.

* In ''Film/Comic8'', when each criminal groups are planning their heists, they are constantly referring to "Bank INI" (Indonesian for THIS Bank). Later it is revealed that "INI" stands for "'''I'''ndonesian '''N'''etherlands '''I'''ncorporated".
* From ''Film/DrGoldfootAndTheBikiniMachine'' (1965).
-->"Sometimes I suspect that you forget you're a member of '''S'''ecret '''I'''ntelligence '''C'''ommand. You're a SIC man."
* The NoBudget ''Film/{{Predator}}'' knock-off ''Robowar'' has the lead character heading up a team of marines nicknamed BAM -- '''B'''ig '''A'''ss '''M'''otherfuckers.
* In ''Film/TheChainReaction'', the name of the evil corporation W.A.L.D.O. stands for "'''W'''estern '''A'''tomic '''L'''ong-term '''D'''umping '''O'''rganisation".
* ''[[Series/BBVProbe P.R.O.B.E.]]'', a series of direct-to-video science fiction films by Creator/BBVProductions, features an organization that investigates supernatural mysteries. The full name of the organization is the Preternatural Research Bureau. (Where does the O in the acronym come from? It's a mystery...)
* The tagline of ''Film/TheTrip1967'' is "A '''L'''ovely '''S'''ort of '''D'''eath."
* ''Film/MissCongeniality'': Gracie performs a self-defense lesson for the Talent portion of the pageant. She ends by demonstrating a well-known mnemonic on her unfortunate partner Eric.
-->'''Gracie:''' If all else fails, just remember to S.I.N.G! '''S'''olar Plexus! '''I'''n-step! '''N'''ose! '''G'''roin!
* In ''Film/KingOfThieves'', [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Basil is the character's nickname.]] The end of the film implies that Basil might stand for [[spoiler:Best Alarm Specialist In London]].

** ''Film/SpidermanFarFromHome'': Peter is given an A.I. assistant named E.D.I.T.H., which stands for [[spoiler:'''E'''ven '''D'''ead '''I''''m '''T'''he '''H'''ero]]. Promptly lampshaded by Happy, who comments on how Tony loved acronyms. [[spoiler:The villain is also the ''real'' developer of B.A.R.F., who among other things is pissed about the name Tony gave his invention]].

* In ''StarWars'', TIE fighters were called that because the original TIE fighter looks like a bowtie. It canonically stands for '''T'''win '''I'''on '''E'''ngine.

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' with the '''F'''lint '''L'''ockwood '''D'''iatonic '''S'''uper '''M'''utating '''D'''ynamic '''F'''ood '''R'''eplicator, or FLDSMDFR. Flint insists on pronouncing the acronym despite how confusing it is for other characters.

-->'''Gracie:''' If all else fails, just remember to S.I.N.G! '''S'''olar Plexus! '''I'''n-step! '''N'''ose! '''G'''roin!

* [[Film/ThankYouForSmoking Thank You For Smoking]] has several:

* The tagline of ''Film/TheTrip1967'' is "A '''L'''ovely '''S'''ort of '''D'''eath."

* ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'': "H is for hurry...E is for urgent...L is for love me...and P is for please help!" (The E for "urgent" was just bad wordplay.)

* In ''Joe's Apartment'', Joe has a job interview with a urinal cake manufacturer called P.I. Smith & Sons. It starts out seeming like a StealthPun up until he gets the job, and is given a bright yellow uniform with "P.I.S. & S" in big letters on it.

* ''[[Series/BBVProbe P.R.O.B.E.]]'', a series of direct-to-video science fiction films by Creator/BBVProductions, features an organization that investigates supernatural mysteries. The full name of the organization is the Preternatural Research Bureau. (Where does the O in the acronym come from? It's a mystery...)

* When Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. first appears in ''Film/IronMan1'', he doesn't use the acronym of his organization when talking to Pepper. The best part is, apparently they didn't notice the coincidence:
--> '''Coulson''': I'm Agent Phil Coulson with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', Binarily Augmented Retro Framing, better known by its acronym B.A.R.F., is a prototype created for therapeutic pursuits [[spoiler:allegedly]] by Tony Stark.
