  yes. my bad. in OZ, we speak about the CBD all the time. Apparently, nobody else does this for the central business district. you must think we're all stoned, all the time. NFP is used a lot in the not for profit sector, alongside NGO for non-government organisation.

    The UK also has Quasi-nongovernmental organisations, referring to a general class of arms-length statutory bodies and regulatory/representative agencies that have some devolved authority but little/no direct ministerial or parliamentary oversight. They’re often still publicly funded, or have appointments by patronage, and therefore have split loyalties; or as the saying goes, it takes two to quango.

        I believe that is a later backronym, although equally valid, not least since the term is satirical.
