I would like to submit the following new acronym for consideration:

SWAMP: Sticker Which Adheres to Multiple Pieces

I've been privately referring to them as SWAMPs ever since I encountered
them.

I think it is very appropriate, especially as I am now considering freeing
some elements from the SWAMPs that currently contain them.

Whoops!   I missed that one in my review of the acronym list.   I certainly
had no intention of adding a redundant entry to the already considerable
list.  Thanks for pointing that out.
