Are you speaking about DRY on a syntactic basis, or the version from The Pragmatic Programmer ("Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system")?
I would say "was intended to mean.". The acronym is catchy and seems sufficiently self explanatory that I think your initial interpretation may be more common.
I've been jokingly pushing for over-application of syntax-focused DRY to be called "Huffman coding"
