Silly acronyms and baffling tech

Who is the worst for this?! I nominate Ghost:
Technology:

• BCG – Balanced Center of Gravity: Due to the low bottom bracket and a central damper position, the center of gravity is central and low. The perfect weight distribution guarantees neutral and balanced handling.
• CCH - Continuous Cable Housing: Our mountain bikes feature derailleur cables with continuous cable housing. Great long-term shift performance is guaranteed by eliminating any negative effects dirt might cause in the derailleur cables.
• GCS – GHOST Custom Setup: In cooperation with our damper suppliers we perfectly tuned the dampers to GHOST’s frame kinematics. The setup was optimized specifically for GHOST and guarantees perfect performance. An ideal setup and the sky is the limit!
• GQC - Ghost Quality Control - WE Test – YOU Ride: We only accept premium quality. This is why our bicycles and all components are tested according to the latest technology standards. Our test labs enable us to simulate trail and real-world riding in the lab and to fast-forward a bike’s entire life cycle within a few days. We want to make absolutely sure that you are not a part of our test series, but get a bicycle you can trust.
• LFT – Low Friction Technology: Because of the low transmission ratio the required damper pressure is very low and minimal friction in the damper is caused, which in return results in outstanding responsiveness.
• TLC – Tender Loving Care: Our bike think tank thrives on the daily motivation and commitment of our team to do their best for your bicycle. Even after office hours the fascination and love for bicycle sports has a hold on us. We are proud of our bikes and rest only when you’re happy with your GHOST as well.
• Bogey Roll: The damping system is no longer affected by the rider’s weight on the pedals. By using the Bogey Roll, the chain growing effect approaches Zero and no longer interferes with the active damping process.
• CoC – Center of Competence: Competence Center Waldsassen: Development and assembly, test procedures and rides, everything happens under one roof here.
• GCT – GHOST Custom Tubing: We do not use standardized tubesets, but develop our frames and required tubes ourselves. A lightweight, yet sturdy frame requires specifically adapted forms and wall thicknesses.
• NBS - Needle Bearing System: The innovative needle bearing at the damper’s rocker linkage results in a considerable reduction in friction. This also reduces the break-away torque that you constantly have to overcome while riding your bike, resulting in the most sensitive chain stay of all time.

Bogey roll?!
