# an abbreviation is a shortening of individual words,
like Dr is to Doctor.
An acronym is a shortening of common or well known phrases containing multiple words, using the initial letters or syllables, as TGMTFH is to that gives me the fackin' horn.

# No
an acronym is a word (hence the -onym suffix) formed from the intial letters of a phrase

for instance:
laser
scuba
NATO

TGMTFH is not a word, so it's not an acronym. You're correct that it's not really an abbreviation, though - it's an initialism.

# just because you don't know
how to pronounce it doesn't mean it's not a word :p

And if it has to be a word, why is CEO accepted as an acronym, when nobody says it as a word, they say it as C-E-O? And for that matter, what qualifies something as a word? Is OPEC a word? I'm pretty sure it's not. Just because it's simple to pronounce something doesn't make it a word. I'm pretty sure SNOFFAGUMP isn't a word, but it's easy to say. Autochthon is a word, but just by reading it you probably wouldn't get the right pronunciation.

and also, onym means word OR name.
