To a greater degree than English does, German tends toward acronyms that use initial syllables rather than initial single letters, although it uses many of the latter type as well. Some examples of the syllabic type are "Gestapo" rather than "GSP" (for ', 'Secret State Police'); ' rather than "FAK" (for ', anti-aircraft gun); ' rather than "KP" (for ', detective division police). The extension of such contraction to a pervasive or whimsical degree has been mockingly labeled ' (for ', strange habit of abbreviating). Examples of include ' (for ', short in the front, long in the back, i.e., a mullet) and the mocking of Adolf Hitler's title as ' ("", "Greatest General of all Times").
