f-s-check here too, unless I'm feeling sarcastic or pithy, or reading TheRegister's BOFH series or the like, in which case in the great Unix
tradition it's "fusck", and in "No backups? You are /really/ fuscked!"

:-)Since I never discuss it orally, the question doesn't arise. Reading, my mind just notes ``oh, that thing'', and keeps on going.
