Our little shorthand for the 1985 ISDA Code and the 1987 ISDA , being the two archaic editions of the ISDA Master Agreement that have fallen out of use, save for pockets of the deepest jungle in Borneo and where ancient camouflaged combatants still wait out the cessation of hostilities in the Second World War.

To be compared and contrasted with the modern ISDAs — the 1992 ISDA and the 2002 ISDA which are still in widespread use — though the 1992 is starting to drop off a bit.
