AC DC stands for nothing in paticular

At one point of time some pastor or something claimed that it stood for Anti Christ Devil Children, but that is not true

yeah, acording to wikipedia it says this...

Angus and Malcolm Young developed the idea for the band's name after seeing the acronym "AC/DC" on the back of a sewing machine owned by their sister, Margaret. "AC/DC" is an abbreviation for "alternating current/direct current", which indicates that an electrical device can use either type of power. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy and power-driven performances, and love for music so the name stuck

When I was a kid I was told that it was a sexual reference. It was like calling someone a "switch hitter".

I heard that too. But I also heard that they claimed that they did not know that until some taxi driver told them in their early career after a concert once.
I found it kind of funny that apperently in Australia people don't pronounce each letter indivudually, but rather call them "acca dacca" :lol:

Actually, Angus Young struts around the stage like that because during one of their early concerts in Australia he tripped over a microphone cord. So to disguise his lack of dexterity, he continued to stumble around the stage as if he meant to do it. He has been doing it ever since.

Also, I heard that K.I.S.S. stood for Knights in Satan's Service. Although I don't know the validity of that. It could just mean Keep it Subtle and Simple.

I am almost positive KISS stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid.

But you could be right..
