Huh! Never thought of it that way before. But yeah, the two are pretty much acronymal antonyms, aren't they?
Another one I just thought of that can be confusing for someone not used to the internet: The words "win" and "fail," both commonly used as verbs IRL, can also be used as nouns or even adjectives in internet-speak.
Ex.: Rew's sig is pure win, but his avvy is full of fail. (:XD)
