I think I saw that one earlier on the forums...

Wind Power should be WP though.

Well, WP is shorter if you write it. :P

Fun. Most of them just make sense to drop the last word or ending (Shock, Five Star, Junkyard, etc.), but here are a few that I like to say and/or write:

Widdy
Disease Det (because Dee Dee just doesn't sound right...did think about 'DiseaseD'--diseased--but that sounds weird, too)
Eco
Astro
Dee Pee
4N6
Mat Sci
Food Sci
Meteor (though some say Meteo...yuck)
Bee Pee Ell
Powders
Amp Rep
