    There are some good suggestions in the Urban Dictionary but not suitable for G&D... Profound and Sincere Apologies.

    PSA is not an acronym - it is an abbreviation.

    An acronym makes a new word from the initial letters of the phrase (for example, "laser", "AIDS"), whereas an abbreviation does not.

    Yeah, it's an acronym. It is pronounced 'pissa'.
