    As far as backronyms go, that goes alright, but I am glad I didn't miss anything

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    This is the dumbest acronym I've ever seen. It's like they just took words that kind of relate to the world 'soldier' and pushed 'em together hoping they'd make sense.
    I've heard worse backronyms as created by the rl U.S. government... *sigh* I came up with a backronym for the word sword. I use it in my stories to define a group as being part of Strategies, Weapons, and ORganized Defenses.

    Like HAMMER versus SHIELD, I think of AVALANCHE as just trying to match SOLDIER aesthetically while SOLDIER is likely an acronym... backronymed.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
