OK, if choosing a word to abbreviate, 'assorted' is not always the best choice. (not my pic, seen on the interweb)

Well what do you expect all those welsh ex miners to do?
There's no coal left, so they start mining ass fudge.

Don't get too excited - only "a small handful of nuts" counts and definitely not ones that have been dipped in chocolate...

Talking of dodgy abbreviations - a new university in the North East was planning to call itself 'City University of Newcastle upon Tyne' - until someone spotted the potential problem.
I think I also heard that Portsmouth Poly seriously considered becoming 'South Hampshire Institute of Technology' before the name 'Portsmouth University' came to the rescue.

Somerset College of Arts and Technology has renamed itself Somerset College but everyone still calls it SCAT.

The girls' school down the hill from the boys' had to change from Haberdashers' Aske's Girl School to HA School for Girls. That didn't stop us referring to them as HAGS though.

At a previous employer, when customer goods had to be booked onto the system to go through the service and repair system, the product type field was condensed down to seven characters. So washing machines would become 'washmac', TVs used to become 'LSTV32', CD Stereos became, 'CDStero', Fridge Freezers became 'FrigFrz' and so on. The half embarrassed, half concerned, half "wtf" look from a customer if they ever got to see the service documentation for an analogue camcorder was something to behold.
