Fluco

In 1948 Fluvanna County was one of the few teams in Virginia that was playing high school football as the team finished the season with a 7-1-1 record. The 1949 Fluvanna County High School Yearbook, the Fluvannual, makes first reference to the nickname Flying Flucos. As written in the yearbook, "Our next game on November 12 was the pride of the 'Flying Flucos'. Rated as underdogs in this game between Fluvanna and Manchester, we racked up a touchdown, a safety, and an extra point, to edge them 9 - 6. This is the team, incidentally, that gave us the name, 'Flying Flucos.' " Prior to this game something was probably said or written about "The Flying Men of Flu.Co." (an attempt to abbreviate Fluvanna County) The students at Fluvanna County HS embraced 'Flying Flucos' and it has been the nickname ever since.

The Flying Flucos name has been around since 1948.

The first attempt to create a visual image of the Flying Flucos mascot was 'Mercury (mythology) Winged Sandals that appeared in the 1950's - 60's. The Winged sandals were said to be made of imperishable gold and they flew the gods as swift as any bird. The Old English script Flying 'F' with wings is now the Flying Fluco logo. Over the years many efforts to make a super hero type character the Flying Fluco mascot were attempted but all never gathered much support. Recently a caped 'Flucoman' mascot has appeared. The Flying Fluco nickname has twice made the ESPN list of Top High School nicknames in the country, once earning the #2 overall selection for 'most unique mascot'.2

The Flying Flucos nickname has been around since 1948.

White Christmas? I’ve not seen so much as a flocoon.

Fluoride Vampire

A Fluoride Vampire is one who refuses to remove their head from the sand. One who cannot wrap their tiny mind around proven facts, even when it is shown to them. Educating his/herself is not an option as they are perfectly content with remaining ignorant because of an infallibility complex which they suffer from, or perhaps it is simply a lack of intelligence and lack of a sense of humility. In short; a Fluoride Vampire is someone who is beyond help and engaging in prolonged discussions with said Fluoride Vampire should be avoided at all costs as to not become afflicted with Fluoride Vampire syndrome which usually leads to severe brain rot and overly passive behaviours such as agreeing to allow the police into their home without a search warrant as well as giving up other constitutional rights.

Fluoride Vampire #1: "The Police recently investigated themselves and found they were not guilty of any wrongdoing. They then cleared themselves of all charges. This proves without a shadow of a doubt that they are innocent, law-abiding citizens just like everyone else."

Fluoride Vampire #2: "Sounds totally legit. Thanks for clearing that up."
