Re: Fuk Wu
Meh. I was reading about Arabic linguistics last night and there was a whole section about the work of a German(?) Arabist named Johann Fück.
Not exactly a combination of letters I'd expected to happen across in that book.
(Pedantic mode: Cantonese(?) syllables are either open [no final consonant] or end in only p, k, m, n, ng, t, IIRC, so if you're not a Fu, you've a one in six chance of being a Fuk. Would have been perfect if (assuming that's in English order) her family name was Yu.
But seriously, this is just another of those wacky sound coincidences and nothing to crow like a dik about. )

Ah! Maybe that's what I should write in 'Rider's "What's wrong with you?" thread!

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Re: Fuk Wu
Nah, I got it covered.
Hey, I was slumming over on DumbNavels a little while ago and I saw where "I'm not a stereotype, I'm actually thin and have a job. No really!" arnoldo was giving you shit again about banning him with the Spanish thing. And rubbing it in that he has free rein to post whatever he wants to over there (because he's got his head so far up their collective ass that he can taste whatever they eat before they can) by using Spanish while doing it.
Obviously it still bothers him. Cool.
