My Grand Dad called it Daylight Stupid Time. Reason he said was when we were the Arsenal for Democracy before our formal entry into WWII we went into War Production Time for the same resons that were used for DST but after Roosevelt died and Truman took over Harry forgot to tak us off WPT so we were already an hour ahead when Johnson initiated DST. Hence my Grand Dad calling it Daylight Stupid Time.
