vertical acronym

One of those cliché presentation aids that places the letters of the key word vertically and assigns a word or sentence to each letter.

Here is an example of a vertical acronym:

S-Size up the situation.
U-Undue haste makes waste.
R-Remember where you are.
V-Vanquish fear and panic.
I-Improvise (use your Imagination).
V-Value your life.
A-Act like the natives.
L-Live by your wits.
