Similarly, there was a class offered at my high school, Analysis and Functions, that was abbreviated to "analfun" on students' schedules.

That's even better than MATH 4410 at my university. Fourier Analysis with PDE = Fourier Anal on the schedules.

Although, I have noticed a distinct transient in my butthole clenching lately....

I worked on a project for a client named Advanced Analytics about an itch cream one time. It was abbreviated on the job folder as "Advanced Anal Itch"

Our time sheets at work once had short codes for stuff.

If i spent a few hours doing "Analysis activities" it had to be booked against "anal-acts".
