Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, wessie

Fair play to ye!

 

I spotted a t-shirt once: "FCEK - Irish Connection"

 

It's like the French Connection FCUK thing. Think "feck".

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ

At the risk of killing it stone dead...

FCUK (French Connection UK) rather famously play on their company's name
being an anagram of "****".

Irish people tend to say "feck", not "****". Hence: FCEK. See?

 

See, now I read that as 'fe-sit', given that the C would be soft due to
the subsequent I.

At a guess, there's something called FCUK... so the one above is a change
on the theme to be "Feck". That well known Irish form of exasperation.

 

Now, can someone please explain FSCK?

 

the acronym for the parent organisation wasn't a big enough clue, loike?

Go and gurn in the gobdaw corner with Champion

 

File system check - its' a *nix thang

 

Stands for "File System ChecK"
Unix/linux command which has been adopted as an alternative to ****.

 

Not when one is skip reading.

Heh, ermmm, what?

Do you need a degree in computer science to know that or did you just
read my earlier post?

 

....which I understand was arrived at when the Hong Kong office (FCHK)
faxed the London office (FCUK) and some bright spark realised there was
a branding opportunity being missed.

 

The two, of course, aren't mutually exclusive. But you must be
reassured to know that someone with a BSc in Computer Science has
verified the accuracy of your comment.

 

Oh wow, I posted mine 5 minutes after yours.
You do realise usenet isn't an instant medium don't you?
Or is that knowledge only held by computer science graduates too?

 

...or not, if it's actually "File System Consistency checK" as
many believe it to be...

Indeed, pathetic isn't he.
I would prefer it if he was the target of derision rather than me though.
Not as if I've even said anything that anyone's found objectionable.

 

He certainly appears universally to be an object of derision. It's
just that most of his posts reveal why far more effectively than
anything we might say, so mostly people don't bother to target him.
