My son-in-law had to tell me what "Call of Duty" is. I had to tell him what "Cash on Delivery" was.

The first thing that came to mind when I looked at "GOAT" was "generalized occupational aptitude test." Sorry. I've played my fair share of Fallout.

Technically, in order to be an acronym, it has to be a pronounceable word. If you can't pronounce it, it's an initialism.

How can the OED be last? Don't you people read?

When you're a sports fan, you see GOAT a lot. I have mostly seen it associated with Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and a few times with Mariano Rivera, though for him it is GOAT not of an entire professional sport, like MJ and the Great One, but of his position.

Also: How did 5% not get USA? I know a lot of people take these great quizzes who live outside the US, but I figure that they know pretty well what USA stands for. I guess 5% of people either don't know, or refused to answer on principle.

DOA can be "Delegation of Authority" and PSA can be "Prostate Specific Antigen". Not saying those should be accepted, just saying :)

FDR is not an acronym. It's his initials

I know what the Oxford English Dictionary is and I can read very well. However I have never heard it abbreviated like that.
