AOTY (acronym of the year) candidate--or is it intialism of the year?
In either case, it is, of course,
VPILF
or maybe it's VPilf
(which unpacks just as you'd expect, even if you don't know how to
pronounce it).
There's even a corresponding web site: http://www.vpilf.com/
Remember, you read it here first, unless you didn't. And given where
we've been the last eight years, I'm pretty sure this one didn't
exist before today.
