What the, Fack?

[Thewms]

When chatting with someone IRL about a FAQ, do you refer to it as...

~an eff-ay-kyoo

OR

~a fack

OR

~(something different)

I've always said fack and am unsure if this is common or if I just sound like a fool!

(side note: was temped to jokingly post this in the Rules Forum)

:)

[Terquem]

I am old, and I first heard this term used by my children ten or fifteen years ago, and they said "eff ay kyoo"

[cannon fodder]

I'm trying to mark this post for FAQ (eff-ay-kyoo, btw) but I don't have the option.

We should get a clarification from the devs.

[Orthos]

"Fak" here.

[TOZ]

Fac. Kind of clip the end of it, removing the k sound.

Darn! Maybe this should have gone into the rules forum!

I do wonder if the devs are thinking,

"Fack? Sounds ridiculous!"

or

"Fack,yes!"

eff-ay-kyoo.

Unless I'm being my devilishly funny self, in which case I use fack.

"eff ay kyoo" here in my part of the world.

[Kthulhu]

Fack!

[GreyWolfLord]

Just the Faqs. Not the F...A...Q...the Faqs.

It sort of sounds like FAX.

But we aren't printing it off a machine, we are just viewing frequently asked questions on the computer screen.

It hit me like a fack truck.

Fack.

[zylphryx]

Fack or eff-y-que ... I'm FAQ-flexible ;)

[Krensky]

According to the jargon file both are correct. I always use fak though and I don't recall ever hearing the other.

I am so glad to see I am not alone!

Eff Ay Cue here. I don't hear it pronounced fack very often here.
