NAWALT can be considered an acronym, because it is formed by taking the initial letters of the words "Not All Women Are Like That" and pronouncing them together as a single word, "nawalt." Don't confuse acronyms with initialisms. In their case, you also take the first letters from a phrase, but you spell them out. Like FBI: you say "F-B-I," not "fibby." (Which, admittedly, would be hilarious 😆).
