We are talking about right now.  The name CUPS is clearly an acronym
that stands for Common Unix Printing System (or "UNIX" if you prefer).
Everyone who uses CUPS knows this.  It's the dirty little secret that
Apple can no longer admit, because lawyers.

You are doublethinking.  In your world, CUPS isn't an acronym, and you
have always been at war with Eastasia.

Or, you are a lawyer.  In which case, you have my pity.
