Or even "hw"?  (I just submitted that one.)

But here are some amusing (well, to me anyway) alternates.

HW:
  - Helloween (band) [Hey!  They stole our acronym!]
  - High-Warning ['nuff said :-)]
  - Hacked Website
  - Hardware [old and lame, but it's been amusing this computer
    guy for decades now]
  - Hazardous Waste [what all those *other* people think of HW's
    music?]

DFL:
  - Data Fusion Laboratory [should be from a Calvert lyric]
  - Deutsche Fussball Liga (German Soccer League) [who knew?]
  - Dictator for Life
  - Disease Free Layings (silk) [hmmmm]

SR:
  - Stuff Request (Nortel) ["Nortel" means this must be a
    technical term.  The mind boggles.]
  - Source Rock (geology) [Space Ritual is the Source Rock for
    Space Rock ... well, that's stretching things, but only
    slightly]

The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent; that's why so
many cults and myths of the serpent exist, because it's hard to
represent the return of the sun by the coiling of a hippopotamus.
