A colleague told me this and I hope it brings us up from all the recent doom and gloom. Yes, it has a few of the hallmarks of an urban legend but the punch line doesn’t involve severed limbs, hastily scrawled messages on a mirror, or anyone winding up in a bathtub full of ice and a missing kidney.
“My girlfriend’s best friend’s boyfriend works for a ‘famous online travel agent’. They outsource their IT to Delhi in India. The UK office has been forwarding IT related emails to the Delhi office with the subject line ‘FYI’ and for the last 6 months, the Delhi office has replied with messages entitled ‘FYE’. No one at this ‘famous company’ knew what this stood for, so finally today someone questioned itÂ…”…the Delhi office replied that FYE stood for ‘For You English’ – apparently all this time the Delhi office had assumed that FYI stood for ‘For you Indians’!”
LOL… TFU. TMI!
Ok Manish…I get LOL and TMI…what’s TFU?
TFU.

My brother has this wacky friend named Krishna. He was doing construction on a mosque in Chicago recently, and when he felt the imam was trying to screw him out of his money, he exclaimed “Nigga, please!” The foreign-born Muslim was all angry, asking “What is this ‘nigga’!?!” Apparently by the end of the week, the imam was crying “Indian, please!” to Krishna.
