FAX

To test something and make sure it's working. An anacronym commonly used in the television industry that stands for "Facilities Check". In larger broadcasts, it can sometimes take quite a while to find and fix a problem as miles of cables are sometimes run. Don't ask why they use an "X" instead of a "C" because nobody knows.

Did you FAX out the audio yet? Yes, audio is fully FAXed and ready to go.
