SXSW (Somebody buy Some Whataburger)

The annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival takes place in Austin, Texas (usually in March). On March 7, 2014, the Texas-based Whataburger humburger chain posted on Twitter:
 
”#SXSW stands for ‘Somebody buy Some Whataburger.’”
 
Whataburger used the line in its SXSW promotions.

Whataburger - this local burger chain drove a cow themed bus around town, threw me breakfast one day and even had time to re-name the show - apparently SXSW stands for “Somebody buy Some Whataburger.
