fcuk

Fashion/Apparel company that used a contrived acronym (French Connection United Kingdom) to allow them to create a logo that looked like a common expletive at first glance. A typical example of the desperate and murky depths to which modern marketing vermin will sink to make a buck.

Cambodian accessory

A term recently awarded "The Most Outrageous Word" by the American Dialectical Society, referring to Angelina Jolie's adopted Cambodian son. The term suggests a cynical motive for celebrities adopting children from third-world nations, being more to promote their public image than from any genuine motive of saving starving children.

Hey, have you checked out AJ's latest Cambodian accessory? Those celebs are getting social engineering down to a fine art!
