1: Acronym for "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince." When, for contract reasons, Prince stopped calling himself Prince and went under his sign people still had to call him something. "The Artist" emerged from "The Artist Formerly..." as the normal thing to say but TAFKAP got around as a mocking runnerup.

2: a name for the actual symbol used in print in place of Prince.
1: That damn TAFKAP! Where the hell am I supposed to find his album is this Borders? Under S for squiggle?

2: Hey man, do you have a font for the TAFKAP or should I go with a JPEG?
