TLA is three-letter acronym. FLA is four-letter acronym; although the "official" term is "extended four-letter acronym" (to make the acronym itself have four letters).

Both are intended to poke fun at an excessive use of acronyms (many of which have 3 or 4 letters).
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
