FOAD. Feck Off And Die. Used by my goodself during the EAC confab.

So wait. Are you supposed to die and then feck off? Or are you supposed to feck off and then die? It seems to me that the proper order might be of some importance there.... but it says "and", which only tells me that I am to do both. So what's the proper order?

[Skrimpy]

I just came up with one today. Posted on another forum. I started by ranting about stupid people and then thought better of it. I figured I might offend someone so I said to myself, RDWHAHB, before replacing the rant with the words:

Stupid people tweak me.

SPTM

Then I thought of one better.

Stupid people p!$$ me off.

SPPMO

Then that led me to a phrase that I will almost definately be using in the future.

SWMBOPMO.

I think you can figure that one out. She hasn't done so today and doesn't that often, but when she does, oh boy does she ever PMO.
