Trav: Nate, it's not called the Yune, it's called the U.N., it's an initialism for United Nations
Nate: Oh.... what the fuck is an initialism?
Trav: You're an idiot everyone knows an initialsm is when you say the letters - like U.N.
Nate: Isn't that basically an acronym?
Trav: No you tool. An acronym is when you make the initials of something into a new word, like NASA. They're two TOTALLY different things.
Sayran: Oh Trav - you're too smart for me!
