BFI

See {brute force and ignorance}. Also encountered in the variants BFMI, "brute force and massive ignorance" and BFBI "brute force and bloody ignorance". In some parts of the U.S. this abbreviation was probably reinforced by a company called Browning-Ferris Industries in the waste-management business; a large BFI logo in white-on-blue could be seen on the sides of garbage trucks.
