[MV] JEEP - what the four letters stand for

As the pronounciation debate has wound itself down, there have been many
arguments about the source of the generic word +ACI-JEEP+ACI-

A few years ago someone here in the UK produced some good T shirts with a
jeep picture and it simply said

+ACI-Just Enough Essential Parts+ACI- .

Some wag also came up with CHAMP- +ACI-Can't Have A Military Purpose+ACI- but was
never brave enough to wear a T shirt with that on it+ACE-

It has always been assumed that Just Enough Essential Parts was not
gleened from any historic information - unless anyone knows different?

Please reply to me Off List Nigel+AEA-milweb.net otherwise it will all get out
of hand......
