Node:BFI, Next:bible, Previous:beta, Up:= B =

BFI /B-F-I/ n.

See brute force

and ignorance. Also encountered in the variants `BFMI',

`brute force and massive ignorance' and `BFBI' `brute

force and bloody ignorance'. In dome parts of the U.S. this

abbreviation was probably reinforced by a company called

Browning-Ferris Industries who used to be in the waste-management

business; a large BFI logo in white-on-blue could be seen on the

sides of garbage trucks.
