IED is a Conveniently Truncated Initalisation (CTI) of a Standardly Letterred Phrase, Clause or Sentence (SLPCoS) which can be of Geat Assistance (GA) to those of us who Write Articles & Narratives Keeping Elementary Regressive Syntax (WANKERS).

Don't get me started on that, Dave. The surveys I'm working on at the moment ask, amongst other things what people know about various problems, including Water Shortages and Energy shortages. At least 20% of them don't think they know what they colud be........

Damned right! All them abbreviations! And them personalized licesnse plates! What do they mean? I think its the sign of the End Times, that's what I think! And that makes me mad, really mad. Makes me want to drive my Hummer through a playground! And slow drivers! Boy, do they make me mad! I'm going to force the next one I see off the damned road! Don't know how they got a license! Probably illegal aliens anyway. Bleedin' heart liberals let 'em drive and take good jobs from honest 'merican citizens. Boy does THAT make me mad! Jist last night the wife was talking about her "friend" Rosa and I got so made I had to knock some sense into her head! Turns out Rosa was Rosa Smith. Don't know why they have to give someone a name like that. What's wrong with a good American name like Mary or Rachel? This stuff just frosts my butt, ya know?

I think I'll go vote for George Bush.

Yup! heard an explanation of IED on the good ole BBC World Service (the insomniacs friend) last night                                 

As well as explaining road rage it purports to also attribute domestic violence, and other excessive outbursts to this form of previously "undiagnosed mental illness which is much more commonly found in men"

And people get paid for this......?

Robin -

A favorite expression of quite a few old-timers in my area has been:

"The first liar never has a chance."

You may replace "liar" with the alternative descriptive nominative term of your own choosing.

Hey, what I don't get is if ya' explode once ain't you explded??? I mean, we ain't cats, is we, where we get to explode 9 times before the grand finale???

So, what's with the intermitent which strongly suggests we will have yet another day in the "explosion" sun???

Nevermind... I'm sure it has somethin' to do with Wes Ginny algebra an' the poor Wes Ginny Slide Rule is badly bogged down with greater matters...

I've often thought that 'Road Rage' was far too self-explanatory and should be replaced by a collection of meaningless letters.
IED works fine for me.

Yeah.....I'm so ashamed.............Clinton says I can't stay on topic..................***sigh***.................Actually I thought an IED was like an IUD but for oral sex. Instead of placing it in the uterus you place it in the esophagus. The latex coated ones prevent VD.
