American Airlines and Hamlet pearlers.

[El Presidente]

On my way back from Miami to LA before connecting to Brissy. 20 to go. 

Can I say how much of an improved airline  American Airlines is?  They are a One World partner airline (with Qantas) and so in this part of the world I use them where possible. 

They use to be abjectly woeful but they have certainly lifted their game over the past decade  from service to lounges etal. Kudos!

Hamlet was regaling us on mostly crap Sunday. It as a long working day commencing at lunch and finishing 2am.  Hammy is a deep reader and he had some gems. I vouch for none of these being correct 

OK = Zero Kills.  British Military would use the sign to signal all was good.   AOK

F#U#C#K# = For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. In earlier  religious days, , sex out of wedlock was forbidden and to have sex out of wedlock was euphemistically referred to as F**K. However, the acronym became a word, which in turn became a vulgar word, despite the fact that it was designed to avoid vulgarity.

He was on fire!

Wait until I tell you about the male Cuban tiger and the analogy of stripes......GOLD!

It is going to be a long flight

What about Forbidden Under Censorship of the King ?

You will have to  take it up with Hamlet 

fair warning....his "Brother...can I tell you...." stories go for close to an hour.

Fornication Under Consent of the King was another one. However, all these etymologies have been debunked. English words that have their origin from acronyms is mostly a thing from the 20th century and beyond, but the F-word itself can be traced back as far as the 15th century, and is likely of Germanic origin.

Tell Hammy to stop reading books on urban myths!
