All I can find is "Dietary Reference Intake" on https://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/DRI -- what do you mean?

(I agree with most of your post by the way (except for the bit about it being art, which would mean it has no function except to be art), I'm just unclear on what you meant here.)

Oh, I see. Hello there! I never knew the founder of OSM was on HN too :)

Oh. I was going with "Dirty Rotten Imbecile", from my youthful punk days.

I can think of some cases where it would still fit. You seem okay, though ;)

My first reflex is to go to Urban Dictionary (!ud), and that's the first result.

Not useful in this case, but acronymfinder.com gives 60 possible meanings. Also the intented meaning as 54th down the list.

Yeah that's why I don't go for those websites, there are hundreds of meanings for each TLA and you'll rarely know which one was meant (both because you don't feel like scrolling through that many, and because more than one usually fits). I made that mistake once or twice before.

Best one is "Disco Related Injury"
