IDF is an acronym for 'intelligent dance floor,' a form of house music popularised from the year 2017 when the Ministry of Sound in London installs its first dance floor that gives real time feedback to the DJ on the force applied by dancers feet and how accurately they are following the rhythm - and by extension their tiredness. This allows the DJ to better suit the music to the mood of the crowd. The actual music consistes of a mixture of original and remixed tracks that can easily change speed, without any of the accompanying 'cheesy' pitch changes. By 2020, IDF is able to operate without a DJ which leads to some very intersting phenomena, such as where a soul night is trashing out high speed terrorcore later in the night and hardcore raves that have slowed down to Classiclock!
Man I loved that IDF night at Gatecrasher. We went in to some gentle late 80s house and we went through trance, happy hardcore, gabba and slowed it right back down to some minimal techno later in the night!

A term used in logistics to describe the centre of gravity of all pallets carrying (or not) carrying goods worldwide. Due to the absence of a GPS tracker on most pallets, this is a quantity (expressed as a latitude and longitude) that can only be estimated.
Setting 0.N and 0.E as a baseline, the mean pallet is estimated to be somewhere over the Caspian Sea (due to a high level of manufacturing in the far east.) It is also estimated to be drifting in a east-south-easterly direction at a rate of 0.24 kilometres per day although the movement of the largets container ships can produce significant noise in this trend.

'The Mean Pallet was a phrase first coined in the 19th Century by a Victorian industrialist who, looking out of his factory window, proclaimed 'I wonder where ye average of all ye world pallets be'
