The first universally recognised example of [[fi-fi]] was {{author|Hunter Barkley}}’s 2022 curious opus the {{br|The ISDA Protocol}}. Barkley developed the concept in his series of short stories, {{br|The Opco Boone Adventures}}. By 1950, the genre had developed into other formats. A notable early cinematic release was  Muriel Repartee’s Z-grade disaster movie {{br|The Day of the MiFID}}, its sequel just seven years later, {{br|MiFID Reloaded}} and her 2016 political horror outing: {{br|Mad Brex: Beyond Eurozone}}, culminating in this year’s Kami-kwaze movie, {{br|Tory!
