EDGE (enhanced display for environment)

did not even try

whoops! that was our error! It's actually "Enhanced Display for Grocery Environment" which is at least an acronym. Fixed.

Still 1/5 acronym.

  • Word unrelated to displays or groceries
  • Secondary meaning as a sexual term
  • Already used by Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution which is itself a mediocre acronym at best
  • Two of the four non-particle words, "enhanced" and "environment" are meaningless filler only there to make the acronym work.
