Recursive acronym - A recursive acronym is an acronym (or occasionally, a backronym) which refers to itself in the expression for which it stands, similar to a recursive abbreviation. Though, because of their lack of a termination condition, perhaps a more accurate term would be circular acronym.

Pseudo-acronym - A pseudo-acronym is an apparent acronym or other abbreviation which doesn't stand for anything, or cannot be officially expanded to some meaning. For instance:

TLA - The TLA (three-letter acronym or three-letter abbreviation) is the most popular type of abbreviation in technical terminology, and is also very common in general language. While three-letter acronym is the older and more frequently cited term, many argue that use of the word acronym here is incorrect (see acronym and initialism), and therefore advocate using abbreviation in its place.

YAFLA - The YAFLA (yet another five-letter acronym or yet another five-letter abbreviation) is a play on the humorous abbreviation YATLA (yet another three-letter acronym). YATLA is often used in the context of poking fun at the prevalence of three letter abbreviations, primarily in the technology industry, itself introducing a five-letter abbreviation, thus providing an obvious impetus for the YAFLA abbreviation.
