På 1600-talsskottska* kallades familjen Fugger från Augsburg för ”the Fuckers of Ausburg”. Funkar bra i LoftFP!

Jämför hur Iron Maiden behövde förklara att det är "Fokker" och inte "Fucker" i låten Tailgunner.

Dagen till ära: Vi tänker ofta på Jesus som en snickare, utifrån översättningar, men den grekiska termen tektōn betyder inte specifikt det, utan snarare grovhantverkare (men inte nödvändigtvis en lågkvalificerad sådan). "Byggjobbare" vore nog en bättre översättning.
Jag utgår från att Erik Granström visste detta när han skapade Tektonerna för Den femte konfluxen.

Även stenhuggare eller annan form av stenarbetare har presenterats av många lärda i ämnet som betydligt troligare än snickare.

De här delarna känns inspirerande för alla möjliga vilda västern spel, eller bara allmänt världsbyggande:
"BOYD: Yeah, we're going to talk about it. And I end up arguing that in these productions, over time, that the white Southern beauty serves as this key memory mechanism, this sort of focal point that produces region and allows white Southerners to imagine themselves as part of this larger identity across time and space. All right? So she's embodied commemoration, this sort of nostalgic looking back on this benevolent white South that never was (laughter). But at any rate, there was almost never a time when white Southerners were not nostalgic and were not having a proliferation of different types of pageantry, OK?
So in the Antebellum South, there was not too much about the plantation South that distinguished it from the North, except slavery. And so they crafted this sort of dreamy myth of difference and posited themselves as the heirs of European aristocracy, which is not really borne out in history. And one of the ways that they convinced themselves that this was true was to hold these annual pageants and rituals. They had jousting tournaments and May Day festivals.
PARKER: What?
BOYD: Twelfth Night parties. Oh, yes. And tableaux. And at each one of these, the central feature in the sort of culminating moment was the crowning of white Southern women as queen, right? So each of these pageants had a white queen, and she was this emblem of what the region was supposed to be about, right? She was both the motif of the white South and its rationale. And then in the post-Reconstruction South, after the war, this is where the United Daughters of the Confederacy come in with their Lost Cause movement, sort of redeeming the South through and finding honor in their defeat. So at Confederate veterans' memorials and monument unveilings and Confederate veterans' reunions, they would always crown someone and raise up the white lady figure for praise and recognition, because that was why the South had gone to war."
