Wow, that's a backronym I never would've dreamt up!

I once contracted at a place where in the memos they actually
wrote Dazdee and Raymack. And instead of ASCII they wrote ASC2 !
If I used any of the terms correctly they made me edit them
to the approved way... it was a pretty bizarre inbred culture there!
