And the current worst AOL (acronym overload):

ATM Network -- Automatic Teller Machine, Asynchronous Transfer Mode

Recently saw an employment ad for an "ATM Network Administrator".
The whole job description was ambiguous ("you will oversee the 
operation of our ATM network...") until you got to the name of the 
company.
