Lightbulb Post your better (or clever) meanings for our motorsport acronyms

So the discussion of late has been around the wisdom off NOT turning of DSC while on the street. So I tried to think of another way to describe "DSC" and came up with:

Don't Shut-off or Cancel

And I thought it might be fun to see what the rest of you could come up for DSC (meaningful, clever, funny or whatever) or any of the myriad of other acronyms we have in motorsport.

Here's another one to get you thinking:

While at one of the driving schools I've been to, the instructor was teaching about car control during a panic stop and was about to demonstrate how, with ABS (anti-lock braking system) you can still control the car because it keeps the tires from locking up. So he gave us the new meaning for ABS:

Ability to Brake and Steer

So anybody got any other useful or fun ones?

I like both transmissions, so no need to make this another 6MT vs DCT thread, but to keep it even surely there's a DCT guy out there that can come up with something for 6MT (SixMT)

Right. And of course you meant words like... Dramatic, Dazzling, Delightful, Divine, Dependable, Defined, Dreamy, Decisive or Dynamite, I'm sure...
