KIBO: /ki:'boh/ 1. [acronym] Knowledge In, Bullshit Out. A
   summary of what happens whenever valid data is passed through an
   organization (or person) that deliberately or accidentally
   disregards or ignores its significance.  Consider, for example,
   what an advertising campaign can do with a product's actual
   specifications.  Compare GIGO; see also SNAFU principle.

   mentioned.
