The labels on Miller beer say "Miller MGD Genuine Draft".

However, MGD stands for Miller Genuine Draft.

So the labels are saying "Miller Miller Genuine Draft Genuine Draft".

I can't remember it exactly but I recall an old Dilbert cartoon strip in which Dilbert was referring to his project as something like "The TTP project."
Asked what TTP stood for he replied "The TTP Project".

One of my pet peeves! I use long distance telephone cards, and they constantly ask for my PIN number! ARGHHHHH....I just want to scream when I hear that!

Likewise, we have a mall here, Walden Galleria. My understanding is that galleria means mall. However, people constantly refer to it as The Galleria Mall, making it The Mall Mall!
