Tail. :smilenod: Jello, I learned to despise in the Navy, really starting with Boot Camp...it was all the same flavor, regardless of color. When I had surgery for a ruptured appendix, I was fed Jello, beef bouillon, chicken bouillon, and tea. I haven't eaten Jello in decades; same for beef bouillon (of course, it's just an addition to things, but still). And I really didn't consume caffeine in the Navy. Crazy, what with all the stories about the Navy and coffee.

At one place where I used to work, an underground flyer circulated about people who were highly motivated and would like to have training at an intense level. It was called "Special High-Intensity Training (SHIT). There was a whole page about giving you as much SHIT as you could stand, etc. That company did some amazing shit in the aerospace and defense arena, but had some serious people issues. Once enough megabuck lawsuits got settled against the company, they cleaned up their act, to some extent. They were then bought out by another company that had zero tolerance for employees abusing each other (both verbally and physically), and a whole raft of bad actors were frog-marched out the door.

I used to work for an electronic component distributor, Farnell. I was a product manager for 8 years. Each supplier had an Availability Rating ie how many times it had failed a delivery. If the rating got too bad we were not allowed to add any new products from them. So we had a rating table and if the supplier dropped too far down they were in serious trouble. So all suppliers were listed on the Farnell Availability Rating Table. So all suppliers had a FART rating. The suppliers knew it too. It caused mild amusement until things got messy.

Acronyms vs. Initialisms: What's the Difference? (https://proofed.co.uk/writing-tips/acronyms-vs-initialisms-whats-the-difference/)

QuoteAcronyms and initialisms are abbreviations formed by using the first letter of each word in a phrase. However, acronyms are pronounced as a word (e.g., PIN), whereas initialisms can't easily be pronounced as a word, so instead, they are spoken as a list of letters (e.g., DVD).
