AFDI means no more penguins here

"Do you know what AFDI means?" I didn't, but offered to Google the abbreviation. In question was a screed from new Tribune Co. owner Sam Zell. Here it is in its entirety:

There's been a transformative change in the Transformative Change e-mail box. It's gone. Use this e-mail box to send your ideas, and I want to see a lot of them. We've now officially moved into the mode of AFDI.

In the old days, by which I mean about 45 days ago, at the Tribune Co., AFDI would be something like "Achieve, Fulfill, Develop and Integrate." Or, perhaps, "Advocate, Focus, Delegate and Innovate."

So, what does AFDI mean? Actually Fucking Do It.
