Aïessdiyé

Aïessdiyé
/aɪˈɛsdiːeɪ/ (n.)
The sacred name of the ISDA — a name so sacred than none but an inducted member of ISDA’s crack drafting squad™ shall say it. An ISDA ninja — one with learning in the ways of the Single Agreement — fears the very utterance of its name, on pain of being cast for all eternity into the entropic slurry of the Iron Mountain.

The conventional and only socially acceptable way for Muggles to refer to the sacred word, therefore is “izder”.
