What do the letters BMW stand for?
Actually, they stand for Bayerische Motoren Werke (in German), Or Bavarian Motor Works in English. The list includes fun, insulting, descriptive and crazy terms.
I asked for the variety of meanings that people had heard assigned to BMW. Here is what I got from a number of contributors too large to give credit.
Many were a bit “on the edge” and are not listed. This is just part of a very long list I have collected.
