I just saw a listing for a “Bohica I Power Cord”? In the Navy BOHICA was an acronym for “Bend Over Here It Comes Again”. What are they trying to say about this $600 power cord?

Oh my goodness.

The Liberators; the Grado mod.

Just don't try to find their website out of the blue; you may find something else of interest however.

One possible explanation would be the acronym was coined during the secret testing of the gay bomb.

The Go-Vibe series of amps would probably also fall into the "don't Google" category.

I recall that Wilson Audio and Totem Acoustics had/have some products with rather clunky names, and let's not leave out Linn, either.
