[Cueball is sitting at a desk, crouched over a laptop.] [Caption below the panel:] SMFW an acronym almost makes sense
The name of the comic xkcd is itself a false acronym – from the xkcd about page :
"It's not actually an acronym. It's just a word with no phonetic pronunciation -- a treasured and carefully-guarded point in the space of four-character strings."

Randall gives some examples of confusing acronyms that closely resemble more commonly-used acronyms. He depicts Cueball apparently puzzling over the meaning of one such acronym.
"SMFW", the title of the comic and an acronym used as the caption, is very close to a number of other common acronyms, including:
The title text contains more examples of imaginary acronyms of a similar nature:
Below are possible examples of potential (already existing, albeit rare) representations for each acronym, according to the Urban Dictionary :
Knowing Randall, the sentences given in the comic proper and title text were probably made without an actual meaning in mind. Nevertheless, the sentence in the comic has a very plausible interpretation: "So Much Frustration When an acronym almost makes sense." Other plausible interpretations of the acronym could be "So Much Fun When" or "See My Face When". Even the absurdly cryptic title text has a plausible translation: "What The Fuck, World? (WTFW) it's like Some Moron's Horrible Opinion (SMHO) To Be Fucking Honest (TBFH), I'm Done, Bye. (IMDB)".
