It reminded me ...
Back when I was working as a Product Designer at NCR and Sperry Corp., and having to deal with Tool and Die Shops who were cutting tool steel for some plastic part, I occasionally would put the following in the "Notes" block of the drawing ...
MIL-TP-41C
I would get a call from the shop with a confused sounding voice asking, "I've been all through the MIL Spec (Military Specifications) Book and I can't find the one on your drawing."
"Oh, that. That's not a MIL Spec, that's one of my abbreviations ... it stands for Make It Like - The Print - for once."
Most times, the guy would just laugh and all would be good to go.
