I came up with my own FORD acronym a long time ago. Never hear anyone else say it. Still not even on this site.

I'm surprised no one else figured this one out...

Fierce Off Road Destroyer (or ON road depending on vehicle). That's going to be scribed on my 72 Bronco when I get it done.

I just know someone would bring that acronym here. I prefer "New Yorker" or "Nerd" over the "Old" way of saying it.
