Line 1:
A TLA is a Three-Letter Abbreviation - a string of exactly three letters that means something to somebody.
Unfortunately, there are only 17,576 possible TLAs, and that includes all the three-letter words such as "the". By now, most of them mean more than one thing, and what comes to mind when you think of a TLA isn't necessarily what comes to somebody else's mind. (For example, there are hundreds if not thousands of people who hear "[[BFG]]" and don't immediately think of [[Roald Dahl]]'s book ''
Thus, many pages on All The Tropes that are named after TLAs are disambiguation pages.
