'doing sweet F.A.'??


Anyone know what this means? My best guess is that the "F.A." stands for *beep* all"--in other words, nothing. But that's just a wild guess, since I've never actually heard it abbreviated. (Not to say it isn't done every day for all I know--I've just never heard it.) Anyone know?

english slang. Yes it means sweet Fck all. In other words "nothing at all".

i.e.

Michael jordan took it to the hoop and made the defenders look like they were doing Sweet Fk All.

Not as random as it sounds but much more gruesome.

It came into common usage, like many phrases do, by soldiers (during WWI).

Fanny Adams was a young girl (6years old, or something) who was viciously murdered. So badly was she mutilated, that the police only found parts of her body.

Which is where "Sweet Fanny Adams" comes from, in other words, very little at all, like what was found of the poor girls body.

Interesting, I never knew the story behind that. Cheers.
