The first time I saw a black shirt with the letters fcuk on it I figured it was just another geek shirt that was supposed to be funny because it had a deliberately misspelled naughty word on it. What struck me as odd was that the person wearing the shirt was not a slovenly technology professional, but rather a well-heeled hipster who I would definitely file under fashion conscious.
I asked someone about it and they explained that fcuk stands for French Connection UK - a clothing store that seems popular with Europeans.
It just goes to show how the clothes do not make the man, but rather the other way around. If you put your average Systems Administrator in a black shirt that said fcuk it would look distasteful, but put some waif in ridiculously large sunglasses in the same shirt and it's suddenly chic.
This is why I don't give a crap that most of my pants have a hole in them.
