>> High-status people wear shirts that say FCUK to show how high-status they are? Utter rubbish.

Out of curiosity, how many high-status people do you know? Would you say that Bell's theory is invalid for all age ranges?

I'd reckon there's room to say that both showing-off and being provocative could be reasons for a person (who's by no means average) to wear a fcuk piece of clothing instead of something else.




I'd say that Bell's theory is completely accurate, and that fcuk is a terrible example of it. Without wanting to offend anyone, the only people I've seen wearing obvious fcuk-branded clothing are what someone else referred to as the Bridge and Tunnel set.


the Bridge and Tunnel set

Could you explain this euphemism in plain English I have no idea to what it refers?
