    I know that jokes don't go over well here, but... I'd make an improved one, one which is better. And I'd name it bbq.

      And I will write a fuzzer for bbq called omgwtf.

  Don’t see the issue. I naturally pronounce this “eff-queue”. You’ve really got to work hard to make it vulgar.

    ... 'feek' ? If it were 'fk' sure, but the Q on the end makes me think of all the English words that come from French and end in 'ique', like technique. 'fq' looks like 'feek' to me.

  :) i didn't choose it to be provocative or so, apologies if that is the case. I've always pronounced jq yay-queue so fq is eff-queue for me. Also f and q can be written with one hand on qwerty which is nice and quick
