   @quixote It makes more sense as DOG-E, aka doggy.

     I know going all persnickety language nerd right now is that last thing anyone needs, but, guess what, I'm going to do it anyway.

     DOGE.

     It's as bad an acronym as it is a rampaging wrecking ball.

     I looked it up. It supposed to be pronounced like dog, but with a long o because of the final e. D'oh-g.

     Sorry, no. E after g makes the g into a zh sound. D'oh-zh.

     If you wanted D'ohg, you have to spell it DOGUE.

     Dept of Gov Unbridled Excess?

     Come up with something felonmusk can use, please?
