BDFL


   [Python; common] Benevolent Dictator For Life. {Guido}, considered in
   his role as the project leader of {Python}. People who are feeling
   temporarily cheesed off by one of his decisions sometimes leave off
   the B. The mental image that goes with this, of a cigar-chomping
   caudillo in gold braid and sunglasses, is extremely funny to anyone
   who has ever met Guido in person.
