This video was just posted yesterday, and is going viral. TL : DW - an 11-year-old girl, about whom I am guessing had never been in trouble before, prank-called 911, stating that she had witnessed a kidnapping. None of this is true, and she’s taken to juvie in handcuffs. I hope this is the worst thing she ever does, and I just know her parents were thinking that something like this was not covered in the instruction manual. This video does contain profanity, most of it used by her father, for which I can’t blame him. > **[11-Year-Old's Prank Ends in Felony Charge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVEhvS1BBFo%2F)** > > In today's body camera video, we're covering the case of how an 11-year-old's prank led to a felony charge.We're a news agency committed to delivering factua... ---

It isn’t that you could have looked it up, it is that you haven’t already encountered it 50,000 times. It is an _extremely_ wide-spread, trendy initialism. It is so wide spread that [even a befuddled painfully unhip elderly man](https://www.newsweek.com/what-does-fafo-mean-trumps-message-colombia-goes-viral-2021284) uses it. ---

Forgive me for not spending enough time online to know, as I am an unhip, untrendy old Duder who does not use social media. ---

Yeah - but that is a befuddled unhip old man who DOES spend A LOT of time on Twitter/X. I had never encountered that acronym/abbreviation before. I’d suggest familiarity might be relative to one’s social media activity. ---

Please don’t be a jerk. And let’s drop the hijack about “who knows what FAFO means”, please.
