Yep. I mean this river, the I.J. river in Amsterdam. But no matter I try, I could not get a reasonable decomposition of this acronym.

BTW (By the way), we know UFO is Unidentified Flying Object, TV is TeleVision, PS3 is Playstation Three, and ET Cetra (etc.) In fact, some words, such as laser, radar, and scuba became words of their own, and before they were just acronyms, i.e. LASER, RADAR, SCUBA. In which you pronounce the individual letters of this acronym.

Then IJ is indeed a weird acronym. Eye-Jay.

I am planning to visit Amsterdam this winter holidays, and while I am reading about this city, I heard that it has a river, that is called IJ. As if it is an acronym or initialism, pronounced I.J.

But no matter how hard I search on the internet (I googled), I could not get what the river's name "IJ" even stand for, unlike virtually all other acronyms I saw (such as ATP, UFO, TV, USA, etc.)

What does the name IJ even stand for?

I still don't get why "up yours" means "**** you!" Maybe because it is short for something or that it is a subtle version of **** you? I am so confused

There is a sound that plays whenever you get an error message on Windows 98 and 2000 (Remember the old times...). It is called chord.wav. I am wondering, what instrument it is playing and what type of chord is it...
