Organization Shortens Name

1844
John Tyler's President of the United States
26 states in the union

And an organization is established; the YMCA.

Now 166 years later, it's now shorten to the Y! No more YMCA or YWCA,

YMCA will live in memory of The Village People.

Wonder why's there's no song called YWCA?

After

Because 'W's are really hard to do in that arm movement dance, and there are far too many syllables in said letter.

As for Y! - there's not nearly enough letters in that name to get a decent dance on...

Huh. Wonder if they're trying to distance themselves from the Christian Association in their name...

Could be. Or they just want to shorten it so they can make it sound more equal for both parties.

Because those guys weren't into women, if you know what I mean.

Ah, yes, that's very true. I'd forgotten about that.

It stinks and I don't like it... It's kinda like Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC...
Now the song will feel outdated...

"It's fun to stay at the Y!"

Doesn't have a good ring to it, does it...?

No, not really.
