- The 'F' doesn't relate to manual... I've got some good (depends on
- your sensabilities) words and some interesting words.
-
- You can insert all the swearing or pseudo-swearing (i.e. "flipping")
- "F"s but how about:
- flamboyant -- too much manual for too little product
- fine -- darn good manual (this means you wrote the manual...)
- flowery -- some professional language specialist (gotta be a word for
- that) was hired to put too many adjectives and adverbs in
- fluffy -- manual says a lot, but nothing about the product
- French -- it lost something in the translation...
-
- There are several more pages of "F"s in just my Random-House Basic
- Speller/Divider. RTFM is a good and useful thing.
