Fugly John Chow? Nah!
June 25th 2007 16:57
I’d never heard the word ‘fugly’ until today, and a bit of investigation on the Net showed that it’s origins aren’t too healthy: it meant, originally, f***ing ugly.
Okay.
On the HitTail report for my other site it came up with John Chow fugly. I don’t know that I’ve seen too many photos of John Chow, but from memory I wouldn’t regard him as being one of the fugly people on the planet. Still maybe the person doing the searching thought he was. Let’s hope whoever it was has realised their mistake now.
The Net is a great place to find new words, and new uses of old words. For instance, yesterday I discovered that a ladder rack isn’t just the thing you stick on the top of a car to carry stuff, it’s also a way of carrying cables around a room. It still looks like a ladder, but in most circumstances you wouldn’t go climbing around the room on it.
So there you go. If you didn’t know about either of those, you do now!
