9. here's the scoop

A favorite of headline writers, GOP dates back to the 1870s and '80s. The abbreviation was cited in a New York Herald story on October 15, 1884; "' The G.O.P. Doomed,' shouted the Boston Post.... The Grand Old Party is in condition to inquire...."

Of course, the silly part was the "old," since the party at that time was only three decades old, far younger than the Democratic Party. Also unfortunate is the openness to alternative interpretations of the acronym:

Guaranteed Oil Prices
Gasbags On Powertrips
and, with a good turnout on November 2, Going Outta Power.
