Stumbled across this word this morning and it stopped me dead in my tracks. “inscos” means insurance companies. As in:

As I’ve been saying over and over, there’s nothing in these proposals that seriously, or even semi-seriously, cramps the style of the big inscos. [*]

Now would that be pronounced inse-koze (where inse rhymes with rinse), insh-koze, or in-skoze? Best of all possible worlds, imho: it strengthens to inch-koze.
