alphabet agency
Government initials organization
Alphabet agency is an informal, often dismissive term for a U.S. government agency known by its initials, such as the FBI, CIA, IRS, or EPA.
The term originated during the New Deal era when Franklin Roosevelt created numerous agencies with abbreviated names.
It sometimes carries a skeptical or anti-government tone, implying bureaucratic overreach or a confusing proliferation of federal bodies.
