Can we make it a crime to twist words so as to create a clever

The new system -- dubbed the Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier and
Detector (AVOID) - was developed by Dr Fred Prata of the Norwegian
Institute for Air Research and has the backing of the British Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA).

People get paid money to come up with Characters Rearranged Avoiding
Pertinence like that.
