DVD did at one point stand for Digital Video Disc till the computer industry pointed out that it could be used for other things so it changed to Versatile. Of course we always knew the alternate use of being a coaster, a frisbee, cooked under the grill with cheese....

 

Of course I could be cynical and point out that there is an inflation clause in the T&C's but that's really going off-topic 🙂
