Various references to this, such as this story at the BBC, have been floating around the blogosphere and the web in general lately… I even saw a reference to it in a dead-tree paper yesterday. The headlines so closely resemble those about Iraq that I’m continually reading "Improvised Explosive Device" when they mean "Intermittent Explosive Disorder." Or, maybe some people are "Improvised Explosive Devices," or perhaps they just have one… or suffer from one…
For that matter "Intermittent Explosive Disorder" sounds like the sort of problem which might be encountered in the construction or disposal of an IED… Perhaps the explosives are out of order, or disorderly. Perhaps road rage is particularly likely when driving a truck bomb… Imagine being cut off in traffic while driving a couple of tons of high explosives around. It might get on one’s nerves.
