    meaning of th FE word...:D

     



    found this somewhere...

    what FE stands for. A few come to mind...
    Ford Edsel
    Ford Engine
    Fairlane Engine
    FE is also the chemical symbol for iron
    Freakin Expensive
    Freakin Enormous
    Fast Engine
    Feared Engine
    Finally Engaged (funny story) and so many more....
    Furt Eh?
    Factory Error
    Faulty Engineering
    Friggin' Erratic
    Fearsome Encounter
    F'Em!


    I drive an FE myself, so before you get offended, don't! ...come up with another

    Going sideways through a bend isn't considered normal or even sane, so that's the way I like it!

    Haha, yes, my grandson pointed it out to me as well. Seems like 19 yr olds have nothing better to do than visit web sites.

    I hate exposing them to bad words, I would much rather they volunteer to go to Iraq and then,.... have them sent back a few weeks later.

    Just who are we trying to kid anyway? Are we going to try and fool ourselves into thinking that we have achieved a certain level of virtuousness just because we don’t type certain words when all the while we are a part of some of the most evil nations ever.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating the use of slang(which happens all the time on this site) or offensive language, but give this world just a few more short years, and even these words that seem so offensive at this time, will not only be accepted, but even find their way into our language as official words and into our dictionaries. I could give you several examples of a few words that have done just that within the last 50 years.

    Hypocritical aristocratic influence drives a nation into falsehood.

    Well, maybe they'll be in the dictionary, and maybe they will be an official word, but to me it will never be anything more then offensive..... I guess I will never understand how vulgarity should be acceptable. Our written word has done quite well without it for many years. Virtuosity has nothing to do with it. It's just common courtesy and consideration..... Maybe if we all lower our standards to the lowest common denominator life will improve??? I doubt it.....

    I hear you Dave. I still don't like the word, "ain't". It sounds low grade to me.

    Well, I used to think words such as "Damn", "Gezz", "Gaudy", "bloody", "Darn", "Frickin'", "F'in" just to mention a few, were vulgar. That was only 20 years ago. Now I see them as verbs, adjectives and words that emphasis certain events, etc. And although I may not use them as the words of choice, I no longer find them offensive.

    Having said that, I would most certainly not use them in certain situations.

    Since when did this forum turn into the HAMB?? I thought we had a code here that certain words were not cool.

    Why don't you two edit your posts and do us all a favor. Both of you should know better, you've been here for awhile.

    I edited the two posts by removing 3 letters. No need as I see it to spell out the word. Got it Tommie and R Pope? As you can clearly interpret, kids visit these sites. Let's keep it clean.

    yes keep shop language in the shop.... and proper etiquite in the forums... i get enough language abuse in the shop everyday.... coming on the forum is like a break from the real world(yes that also includes people boasting about their 1000000HP small blocks )
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
