not sure if this is what you are after, but it has no words (not sure if it is the only one or not)

No-one In Cameras Amazes Me?

Er...

I used to know this, from the constant, "And now, in NICAM Digital Stereo...!" that used to play before films, but can't for the life of me recall now...

NI Companding AM

Having cheated and looked at the answer, I think NICAM stands for

Nighon Impossibly Complicated Acronym Mate!

No idea ut I'll go for N being noise and AM being audio modulation

Jump in anyone
