Most of these acronyms translate to
“I was born a generation too late to communicate the way men communicate “.

I take a waggish delight in spelling out acronyms just for the refreshing experience of seeing them as words. Acronyms are a bad language habit. If they are spelled out on first usage and then abbreviated as acronyms, that can be a courtesy, but used without definition they are irksome and insular-minded. Language, you know communications, is supposed to convey ideas, not encrypt them. Your mileage may vary.
