How about these?

PQ = Portrait Quality - how good looking the actors/actresses are. Scarlett Johansson = 5 PQ, Keanu Reeves = 4 PQ, etc.
SQ = Scream Quality - how scary a horror movie is. The Descent = 4 SQ, Scary Movie = 1 SQ, etc.

It was just there. It had been looked up a few years ago, but I cannot remember why. And it is just too funny to forget. Of course the goverment is the worst for it and my dad did spend 34 years working for them.

I also prefer AQ to SQ

also VQ does not make sense because you are not judging the video but the actual picture (i.e. VQ would be for something like streaming where the video play back can be affected by BW and you can have artefacts like slow down, speed up, macro blocks, and other video mishaps)

as for FUD, like others have said it stands for fear, uncertainty and doubt. It is BS on a competitors product meant to create fear, uncertainty and doubt in a potential client so they would not buy a competitors product.
