One of the most commonly used abbreviations in the world, but what does it stand for?

I do know, I'm just asking. Discovered today that in a group of people I was the only one that actually knew what it stood for. Everyone knows what CD stands for, but seemingly not DVD.

As an IT Consultant I could ruin this thread, though it'd be more 'used every day but never even heard of'.

You all, almost certainly used every single one of these to get here:
DHCP = dynamic host control protocol
DNS = domain name server
HTTP = hypertext transfer protocol
HTML = hypertext markup language
URL = uniform resource locator
TLD = top level domain
TCP/IP = transmission control protocol/internet protocol
