Acronym of "Gay and full of AIDS".

Originating from a BBC News Online article about an air-rage incident: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/348626.stm

The phrase "you're all gay and full of AIDS" from the article gained particular popularity among engineers at BBC Internet Operations as a retort to uncooperative co-workers. It was quickly abbreviated to "GAFOA" and adopted as a generic form of abuse.

The term has slowly spread to other ISP NOCs throughout the UK.
