What does White Gavriel's "t.m.i.a.s.f.o.r creep" mean?
I formulated a hypothesis that "t.m.i.a.s" stood for "total magnetic intensity anomalies," but while making this post I discovered more acronyms for what those first five letters could be, and now I'm perplexed again. It can additionally stand for; "Thematic Mapper Image Assessment System," "tracheal mirror image artifacts," & "targeted molecular imaging agents."
Creep (here's a Wikipedia disambiguation for the word) can have the sense of a weirdo or unsettling person, as we all know, but it can also mean, "the tendency of a solid material to slowly move or deform permanently under the influence of stresses," and, "the gradual and unmanaged addition of" things to something, typically in a less-than-desirable manner, or simply the slow movement or progression of something in a neutral connotation.
I'm looking forward to reading all of your postulations for the meaning of the title!
