Toadisuitid - the practise of kissing toads in the belief it just might be the one for you

IotiDustAid - wider reaching tool than the iotadustaid

OutdisatIdi - the outsourcing of insults directed at Idi Amin, so that you will definitely still be alive to enjoy lunch afterwards, even if the outsourcee isn't

IdiotsAtdiu - simultaneous deed and final farewell, all rolled into one momentous event that sometimes makes the news. Sort of like a Darwin Award, but less respectful.

Based on the definition, I think you misspelled that one. (Or is the common acronym different there than here?)

Now, where is my pad so I can write these on something bigger than the sticky note I've been using...?

You managed 2 correct in the second word.

6 ADIOU
7 DOSTU

Hmmm... If I'm right, there are only 5 places left to put the 3 Is. Have to think about that.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I wasn't numbering guesses; those are positions in the word. So the 4th letter could be A, I, or O.

Another clue. Perhaps a large one.
A number of letters in the jumble are in the correct position.
