If all that fails, you could always badger the human resources dept. to send you on the all important B.O.F.H. training course.

And you could spend your during the inevitable extended lull between submitting the request, and someone ringing to ask why the course is so important, by searching for a suitable alternative acronym. This might be useful to you:

open W, '< words'; m[^(.)] and push @{$1}, $_ while <W>; chomp @{$_} for 'a'..'z'; printf "%s %s %s %s", $b[ rand @b ], $o[ rand @o ], $f[ rand @f ], $h[ rand @h ] while <STDIN> !~ m[^Q]i; burghers overfavor fidgetiness hostel bookers oxbow fashionmonger headroom boole orifice's f's heres brookside objectizes fund headsail ballplayer onus fathead heredes brule or's fervors hurriedness bids ostensorium faucal heatstroke behalf orthocephaly fault helicopted blaspheme occupation's faradizer herisau bilharziasis ogpu forge hyperbolically brazening obligating favorite's hermit's buffoonery occular foreignness heathkit bedaubing overemphasized forwarded hurler braiding ode futurist hassled bridgeford officials fibrefill huskier bayonne ommatophore friar's hemostatic boobify outgun flubbing hangman's batteries octahedra finale hemorrhoidal blobs orioles forges hullabalooing bedrid oatcake fragmentate honegger bouffant opsimath fulfills homologue bedspaces overexploited formality hoya basilisk ozonization's foresightful headlines bottled oldsmobile first homonymous baclava oscular floruit herisau blurry ochrea fabricator habilitated balkiness oxidizations foretime holofernes buzzy outraged flume hygeia banteringly opposable feathering homework bayda octandrious feasibly higgling backgammon ouessant floatation hedges bladder's onions fiddler horace bellyband oglethorpe farthest hemisphere bobble orangeism fiercely hawaiian bellhop ovationing finest hertford boils ozonize freshly holdback bagrodia's oncogenic farce harbingers britannica overflight frankincense heavenly breaststroke octagons faery hemmer brow october fraternizing handicap's busier onagraceous floors holdall bookworm oafishness fling's hindrance banknotes organizational faliscan heptateuch backbone orated fervorlesses heckman buzzard's oxygenizables floater halicarnassus bowled odometer's formativeness happenstance breaded overcolor's fortier heir benevolently ogpu freeboard heterotopic birthmark overcivilization's faradization's hawsepipe blunt ottoman flippers hemihydrate begs observe findable haphazardly bitterwood opining funchal homotransplantation benthos organum filose hrs bumbledom optimists forbidder haired beatles obsequiousness ferber's hoggishly bullishly overcerebral frieze's heritor baronet overrepresent fisher hypnogenetic bodhisattva overspecializes frond heartland bizarreness outsized frowsty huntley braked oxide fraughting heffer berdichev ohm forewoman headliner brummie orderer fyzabad hairgrip belligerence overrapturize fete handcuffing bagful overestimated fatal homework beardsley occasionings faltered hypostatization's betrothal obtuseness frugally humiliation bests oversanguine fock haunch buggering obsession firepower hyphen's bazaar's overruled frenetically hyperparasite bibliology obliviously frenchize hatched backfires oldster founding hellenization bleeped occulter fleapits humified brushfire onerously furriers hagar bulbous opprobriousness flares hoaxed betweentimes omer fireproof hindi bipolarizes orangoutan francophone hectogram's baldmoney opalesce felicities hushed
