I feel like Netflix is only in there to make the acronym, does it really belong? It's an odd collection, the others are tech giants yet there's no microsoft and netflix thrown in. Netflix is big but it's not Apple big.

The acronym I've heard is GAFAM: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft. Judging by http://enwp.org/Largest_companies http://enwp.org/Largest_companies as of right now, the order should probably be AGMAF (Apple first) instead.

FAANG is usually used in the context of investments/stocks. These 5 have consistently been some of the highest growth tech stocks in the past couple of years.
