    This is the first I’ve ever heard of it being an acronym, and it seems unlikely to me. The origin was around tournaments where there was a degree of changing one’s own choices based on the likely match-ups you would face. E.g. for something like magic, if everyone is on a slower control deck, you can take advantage of metagame knowledge and run a aggro deck even if the cards are not quite as powerful in that card pool.
