ROYGBIV / Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain = colours of the rainbow in order​

Or could be silly:

PEBCAK = main reason for computer problems; Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard​

Or could just be industry related or personal:

PITA - pain in the arse
FUBAR (covered above; Fucked up beyond all recognition)
GTFO - get the fuck out
STFD - Sit the fuck down
STFU - shut the fuck up

TBH - to be honest
TBF - to be frank

I also use KISS especially in work & design. It is so important.
I use all the P's - Prior preparation & planning, prevents piss poor performance.
