Yet another
IDIOMATIC QUALIFIER USED IN THE NAME OF PROGRAMS
Yet Another; YAAP
Among programmers, yet another (often abbreviated ya, Ya, or YA in the initial part of an acronym) is an idiomatic qualifier in the name of a computer program, organisation, or event that is confessedly unoriginal.
Yet Another
IDIOMATIC QUALIFIER USED IN THE NAME OF PROGRAMS
Yet Another; YAAP
<jargon> (YA-, after Unix's yacc - Yet Another
Compiler-Compiler) A humorous allusion often used in titles to
acknowledge that the topic is not original, though the content
is. As in "Yet Another AI Group" or "Yet Another {Simulated
Annealing} Algorithm". If used of others' work, it
describes something of which there are already far too many.
In hackish acronyms the "YA" prefix almost invariably expands
to Yet Another, e.g. YABA, YAUN.
