Unfortunate Abbreviation…
posted on 3 Oct 2008 in Engrish Links
Fuji Airways decided to name their guidebook “FAG”. Not that there is anything wrong with that…
Hat tip to Josh Wheeler for the link.

Whenever I’m in Japan airport, I look for FAG
The most confusing abbreviation is Ms for Massachusetts (not Mississippi, which is Mp). Guidebook
From racism to homophobia?
fag means cigarette in British English slang, so this has a double meaning, depending on where you are from. So if you want to fly Fuji, you can’t, they’ve all gone for a faaaaaaag, innit!
Nothing suss!
I got picked on the US when I said I was going out for a fag. Back then I didn’t realise what that meant Stateside.
