Drill Instructor. They are a lot less ceremonial than your Drill
Sergeants.

Ah, I could only think of detective inspector. Acronyms are useless,
if you pick any 2 or 3 letter combination and look it up on acronym
finder, there will be about 30 results. I once worked where the same
three letters meant two completely different things in a different
department.

That reminds me of someone I used to know who worked in LSD (Library
Service Department), and I knew that LSD stood for Least Significant
Digit.

Bacon Lettuce and Marmite


Why does marmite remind me of thermite, tannerite, and other non-edibles?

Because it tastes of bakelite?



I spent the first few years of my career designing control circuitry for
thermoset molding equipment so I'm very familiar with the smell of 350
degree F phenolic resin. It smells much better than marmite.

I guess if the Swedes can have surströmming the Brits can have marmite.
To its credit marmite doesn't tend to explode.
