When you see "BLNR"...

...how do you say it in your head. I catch myself subconsciously calling it the "Blainer."

I say Bee-El-En-Ar.

I know what you mean about assigning words to acronyms.

I do it all the time and most pronunciations have nothing to do with the actual term.

Same here. And with the BLRO I think Bullfrog and sometimes Balrog. Go figure.

Bruiser...

Every time I hear a female sales associate say that when they're showing me this piece I see nothing but a guy wearing a wife beater. I cringe.

Black noir...
