There should be required reading list for people whose sin it is to make this kind of stuff up. Perhaps we should draw it up? 

Adams, D., "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Bulgakov, M., "The Master and Margarita"
Plievier, T., "Stalingrad"
Wedertz, Bill, "Dictionary of Naval Abbreviations" (third edition)

Add what you will.
