Humorous naming
Dear all,
We've been asked to submit names for our documentation system. It used to be the very dry ISDL (Information Services Documentation Library)
The replacement is built on a Wiki-beastie but that doesn't help much with a name.
I wondered about an acronym based on CRAFT, so I can give it a name for managers to use, but we all know that it really stands for Can't Remember A Flipping Thing (polite version)
There's also things such as PICNIC, ID-10T or RTFM that might provide inspiration, yet I seem to be lacking a killer phrase to slide one of these in.
Any good yet innocuous IT acronyms that we can use, yet subvert?
Regards,
Robin

beastie.4th
BEASTIE.4TH(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BEASTIE.4TH(8)
NAME
beastie.4th -- FreeBSD ASCII art boot module
DESCRIPTION
The file that goes by the name of beastie.4th is a set of commands designed to draw the ASCII art FreeBSD mascot -- known simply as beastie
-- to the right of the boot loader menu. The commands of beastie.4th by themselves are not enough for most uses. Please refer to the exam-
ples below for the most common situations, and to loader(8) for additional commands.
Before using any of the commands provided in beastie.4th, it must be included through the command:
include beastie.4th
This line is present in the default /boot/loader.rc file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
The commands provided by it are:
draw-beastie Draws the FreeBSD logo.
The logo that is drawn is configured by setting the loader_logo variable in loader.conf(5) to one of
``beastie'', ``beastiebw'', ``fbsdbw'', ``orb'', and ``orbbw'' (the default).
The position of the logo can be configured by setting the loader_logo_x and loader_logo_y variables in
loader.conf(5). The default values are 46 (x) and 4 (y).
clear-beastie Clears the screen of beastie.
beastie-start Initializes the interactive boot loader menu.
The loader_delay variable can be configured in loader.conf(5) to the number of seconds you would like to delay
loading the boot menu. During the delay the user can press Ctrl-C to fall back to autoboot or ENTER to proceed.
The default behavior is to not delay.
The environment variables that effect its behavior are:
loader_logo
Selects the desired logo in the beastie boot menu. Possible values are: ``fbsdbw'', ``beastie'', ``beastiebw'', ``orb'',
``orbbw'' (default), and ``none''.
loader_logo_x
Sets the desired column position of the logo. Default is 46.
loader_logo_y
Sets the desired row position of the logo. Default is 4.
beastie_disable
If set to ``YES'', the beastie boot menu will be skipped. The beastie boot menu is always skipped if booting UEFI or running
non-x86 hardware.
loader_delay
If set to a number higher than zero, introduces a delay before starting the beastie boot menu. During the delay the user can
press either Ctrl-C to skip the menu or ENTER to proceed to the menu. The default is to not delay when loading the menu.
FILES
/boot/loader The loader(8).
/boot/beastie.4th
beastie.4th itself.
/boot/loader.rc loader(8) bootstrapping script.
EXAMPLES
Standard i386 /boot/loader.rc:
include /boot/beastie.4th
beastie-start
Set a different logo in loader.conf(5):
loader_logo="beastie"
