    FYI, DOW doesn’t stand for anything. “Dow” is commonly used to refer to the “Dow Jones Industrial Average.”

      They weren’t implying it was an acronym. They were just shouting DOW at you.

        Sure, this time I managed to figure it out. Next time they screw up an acronym, somebody else might not.

        No, his name is Dow. DOW doesn’t stand for anything.
