Backronyms are not necessarily reexpansions... in the case of BASIC and OK they were original expansions but they were created because people already thought (mistakenly) that the words were already acronyms.

I've seen some of the common car-make apronyms referred to as backronyms too.

I just added mention of apronyms to the backronyms pages on a few wikis. :)
