Rhaomi: I don’t know what any of them do. They’re all just acronyms… SAP…
Computer: Systems Analysis and Programing.
Rhaomi: Oh. Uh… GANDALF?
Computer: Gas AND Absorption Line-Fitting algorithm.
INADEQUATE: Incredible Natural Abundance Double Quantum Transfer Experiment
and
JAVA: Just Another Vague Acronym
The latter makes a better punchline, but given that they're in the middle of trying to destroy the tentacle beast, I'm wary of being too silly. These are real acronyms, by the way. I didn't make them up.

"CCoT Control Terminal? What's it control?"
"The CCoT."
"CCoT?"
"CCoT Control Terminal."
"Yes, what does it control?"
"It says in the name. It controls the CCoT."
"So wait it controls itself?"
"The CCoT Control Terminal controls the CCoT."
"But the CCoT IS the CCoT Control Terminal."
"Correct."
"So if I push this button..."
"It will push the same button on the CCoT."
"So it does nothing."
"Incorrect. It controls the CCoT."
"But... Hm... Describe, not using acronyms, what the CCoT controls."
"The CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC--"
"ERROR 0x00010c: INFINITE LOOP DETECTED. LOOP BREAK INITIATED. PURGING MEMORY... COMPLETE. REBOOTING... REBOOT COMPLETE."
"That's what I thought."
