BFI
British film institution
BFI is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In film, it stands for the British Film Institute, the UK organization promoting cinema culture and preservation.
In waste management, BFI was Browning-Ferris Industries, once a major American garbage collection company.
In informal usage, BFI can mean "brute force and ignorance"—solving a problem through sheer effort rather than finesse: We couldn't figure out the algorithm, so we just BFI'd it.
