Updated acronyms..

Traffic on Galle Road:

I think it has come to update some of the acronyms we have has in the past:

  • KGB - should now be a Kossa ( slang for police constable) Generated Backlog (referring to how at the end of most traffic jam. The old Kandy Govigama Buddhist no longer seems apt in our Mahinda Chintananya world...
  • PISSU - Politician Inspired Street SnafU - like the picture above, when one of the revered political mutts decides to make move along the streets and traffic comes to grinding halt along one of the main arteries into and out of Colombo. People start taking alternate routes and thus the snafu as every street becomes jammed up. Journeys of a few hundred metres can take far too much time...
Any other suggestions?
