What's a N.gi.WC.M.e.EC.FP.o.S.Dk.O.K.???

Could they be sales territories? S. DK. and O.K. could be South Dakota and Oklahoma. And I suppose WC and EC could be Western Calgary (or Canada) and Eastern Calgary. But N.gi is anyone’s guess. And I don’t know why all the periods and uppercase/lowercase mishmosh.

That’s the only thing that might possibly make sense.

That’s what I’m thinking. I used to work for a guy (who was a smarmy little prick) who had regular business cards, but also had other business cards just like his regular business cards but with H.M.F.W.I.C.O.E. on them under his name. I never asked him what it meant (didn’t want to give him the satisfaction), but instead asked the office manager. It meant “Head Mother Fucker Who’s In Charge Of Everything.” :rolleyes:
He also had notepaper and stationery with it. He thought it was just oh so clever.

It always annoyed me, because I thought “mother fucker” should have been one word.

HMFWIC (pronounced MIFF-wick) is standard US military slang for the guy in charge, usually of something relatively minor. The messhall has a HMFWIC, an aircraft carrier doesn’t.

I doubt HMFWIC would be routinely applied to things with women in charge, but I left the service before women were common enough that I encountered the situation. Perhaps they’d be HMWIC’s???

You don’t happen to speak German as a first language, do you?

In German, you can make new nouns simply by combining other words. In German, “mother-fucking son of a bitch” could probably be rendered as a single word.
