In hacker jargon, the use of 'Yet Another' as a way of padding out an acronym is fairly common. Examples include:
- YACC: Yet Another Compiler Compiler (supplied with Unix and Unix-like systems).
- YAST: Yet Another Setup Tool (part of the SUSE Linux distro).
- YALE: Yet Another Line Editor (the system editor supplied with the UCSD Pascal p-System operating system/user environment; available for 8080, Z-80, 6809, 680x0, 808x, ... CPUs)
- YAPC: Yet Another Perl Conference.
- YaBB: Yet Another Bulletin Board.
- YABA: Yet Another Bloody Acronym (see TLA).
- YAFC: Yet Another FTP Client.
- YAUN: Yet Another Unix Nerd.
- YAAP: Yet Another Ascension Post (an announcement of a win at NetHack).
- YASNS: Yet Another Social Networking Service
- Yap: Yet Another Previewer
- Yahoo!: Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle
This jargon is also used in non-abbreviated form, and the inevitable 'Yet Another YAPC report' has also been used.
