I learned the meaning at a previous job with a German oompany. I was working on
a successor project to one that had the acronym of LIST, where the 'l' stood for
'liquid.' My iteration focusd on powders in place of the liquid, though. For a
few months, in project meetings, I got away with replacing 'liquid' with
'powder' in project meetings...as long as I kept using the words instead of the
acronym. The moment when my boss noticed the resulting acronym was priceless,
but it had to change. Since there was a melt stage, 'powder' got replace with
'molten.' MIST lasted until we got to a precommercialization stage. Our VP
stormed in to tell us that we were going to come up with a new project name,
because he was not going to go to Germany to ask for capital money for a project
named MIST.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
