Pearls before swine could be abbreviated PBS
I have these mental shorthands, e.g., OPC for other people's code/children, so when a wise suggestion is ignored, I thought, pearls before swine, but the acronym PBS is already taken.
Maybe it's an inside joke?

Being able to mark in an alias definition a point of minimal abbreviation, an old feature of VAX/VMS shell (DCL) would be really nice in modern *nix shells.

WTF(6) BSD Games Manual WTF(6)
NAME
wtf -- translates acronyms for you
SYNOPSIS
wtf [-f dbfile] [-t type] [is] acronym ...
DESCRIPTION
The wtf utility displays the expansion of the acronyms specified on the command line. If the acronym is unknown, wtf will check to see if
the acronym is known by the whatis(1) command.
If ``is'' is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing the fairly natural ``wtf is WTF'' usage.
The following options are available:
-f dbfile
Overrides the default acronym database, bypassing the value of the ACRONYMDB variable.
-t type
Specifies the acronym's type. Simply put, it makes the program use the acronyms database named
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms.type, where type is given by the argument.
ENVIRONMENT
ACRONYMDB The default acronym database may be overridden by setting the environment variable ACRONYMDB to the name of a file in the proper
format (acronym[tab]meaning).
FILES
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms default acronym database.
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms.comp computer-related acronym database.
SEE ALSO
