adios, mofo

Lots of buzz yesterday about this story (and the accompanying video). Texas Gov. Rick Perry, after doing a TV interview, said “Adios, mofo” while the cameras continued to roll.
Amusing stuff. But more amusing was this conversation between some of my colleagues in the newsroom (and I am not making this up):
Editor: What does “mofo” mean, anyway?
Reporter #1: It’s a bad word for black people, I think.
Reporter #2: (overhearing the conversation, somewhat stunned) Actually, it means “motherfucker.”
Editor: Oh, in Spanish?

  1. I just heard someone say, “Is ‘mofo’ ready to F5?” Everyone giggled. Then followed, “F5 that mofo!”
