🔘 FUCT

What does FUCT stand for?


◻️Failed under continuous testing

When something isn't working despite numerous attempts, you can label it as "FUCT." The acronym stands for "failed under continuous testing" and also makes sense phonetically.

People typically use FUCT online in forums when discussing the viability of a project, whether it be a developer creating a website or a dude in his garage building a go-kart. For example, if you are seeking guidance on a DIY house project and your electrical wiring job is not working, you might say it has "FUCT."


❓Example
This source code has FUCT and I don't know how to fix it.
Can you upload it so I can take a look?
Yeah, thx.

🔘 Hot Potting


What does hot potting mean?


◻️Soaking in a superheated thermal spring
Hot potting is a trend where a person soaks in superheated thermal springs. It is usually done to relieve stress, much like relaxing in a hot tub.
Hot potting occurs in geological areas like Yellowstone National Park, where hot springs are common. Most springs form when water that has been heated by hotter parts of the earth surfaces to an area that can be reached by humans. Since the springs can reach lethal temperatures, they are usually fenced off to prohibit people from taking dips in them. However, many people ignore these measures in order to experience a natural soak.
Since the first recorded death at Yellowstone in 1870, over 20 people have died in thermal pools or geysers. In June 2016, Colin Scott was hot potting and fell into the thermal pool while checking the temperature. He died shortly after falling in from severe burns and his body actually dissolved.


❓Example
A couple of us are gonna go hot potting after work tonight, you wanna join us?

🔘 Get Oofed


What does get oofed mean?


◻️Get wrecked

Get oofed means "get wrecked." Roblox players, especially, use this term to jokingly mock other players and also people IRL.
Roblox is a free-to-play MMOG that allows players to play dozens of different types of online games within one game platform. While the game is largely silly and does not force players into contentious situations, play characters can die in Roblox. When a character dies, they make an "oof" sound, leading players to coin the phrase "get oofed" and use it in place of "get wrecked" or "get rekt" when they kill another player or witness that player's death.

If you interact with a Roblox player in real life (especially a younger one), they might tell you to "get oofed" when they beat you at chess, see you fall off a hoverboard, or realize how old you are. They may, however, regain some respect for you when they realize that you know what "get oofed" means.


❓Example
Ah, shoot, you sunk my battleship.
Oh yeah get oofed, Uncle Matt!

Common mistakes
👉Recent vs Last

👈 To express the occurrence of an event from a time in the past until now, the words "recent" and "last" are used, with the difference that when we use numbers, the word "last" is used, not "recent".

🧑‍🦰 Over the last 12 months house prices have fallen.
🧑‍🦰During the last 12 months, house prices have decreased.

🧑‍🦳In recent months house prices have fallen.
🧑 🦳 In recent months, house prices have decreased.





Therefore, the following sentence is wrong:

❌ Over the recent 30 years there has been a great deal of industrial development.

✔️ Over the last 30 years there has been a great deal of industrial development.
Over the past 30 years, there have been many industrial developments.
