Keep in mind my hint. I was thinking of both types when I made the phrase...

It's been a while since anyone else guessed, so I will declare key-smiter the winner.

The actual phrase I was thinking of was Cooked Hamburgers and Tomato, but his is so close, I'm giving it to him.

Taking advantage of this "intermission" . . . to my wife, grilling and charring are exactly the same thing. A hamburger cooked to my standards is instead deemed to be something that can spontaneously reassemble, moo, and begin eating grass in the back yard.

Unless I get an influx of mod points, the solver of this one gets +2 . . . my generosity is limited by my point funds.

The acronym:

TAIWAN

Hint: a possible name for a group of people. Probably not DROD-related.

The Acronym Is Wet And Neat

One word correct . . . it should be straightforward to guess which one.

Oh, and I should admit to a small complexity - to the extent there are English rules of anagramming, they provide for the complete omission of indefinite articles and simple prepositions. Thus, please be advised there is the word "of" in the final phrase somewhere.

Not bad, except it'd have to be spelled "aNchor" . . .

Dunno if this is a hint or not. I lifted this acronym from a Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) e-newsletter several years back.

Sorry for the delay. I must have been busy or something.

Great guess, but since the solution still remains distant, let me provide another word:

The Association of Individuals Without Any (N).
