If I am talking to other geeky types I explain the full history of
"Personal Home
Page" outgrowing it's name to become "PHP: Hypertext Processor" , recursive
like
"GNU" ete. etc.
If I am talking to non geeky types, and they bother to ask, I go with
"Professional
Hypertext Processor".

It's not. PHP stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor." It's a
recursive acronym.

That is a myth and it is not really right :)
You might want to search for an interview with Brian
