Well, as we all know KISS stands for "Keep it simple, stupid" But then
later some band took it for their name and still later some dolt decided it
(the band's name) stood for "Knights' in Satan's Service" or some variation
thereof (there are several).

So you see how messy this can get, especially if--dare I use the word?--any
"idiots" with agendas get involved.
