The Road Rage threat had a post with 'AHIQ' referring, I suppose, to the '@$$ Hole In Question'. Can anyone help me out or was that a sufficiently good supposition? M2

It is long been a principal of ours that one is no more armed because he has possession of a firearm than he is a musician because he owns a piano. There is no point in having a gun if you are not capable of using it skillfully. - Jeff Cooper

Then there's the whole series of BF* modfiers, like BFD (Big F****n' Deal), or BFR (Big F****n' Rock as in, 'I bounced a BFR off the mutt's head and improved his attitude markedly'), or BFG (Big F****n' Gun), etc. It's a very flexible acronym 'stub', can be used infront of almost anything to amaze and amuse your friends and family even to the point of becoming the biggest BFA they've ever met.
