FAFO:
The phrase is more commonly known as “(Eff) around, find out.” It’s long been used as a Gen X version of warning “actions have consequences, so choose your’s wisely.”
It more recently has been shortened to the slightly polite acronym FAFO, but with the same unapologetic caution to know what you’re getting into. [Asbury Park Press]
This one has exploded on the scene recently to such an extent it’s not worth quoting any particular source. It’s worth noting that every generation has some phrase of rough equivalence, such as Quit horsing around!, dating from a more patriarchal era. It’s no doubt reflective of the home era.
I don’t normally have consecutive WOTD posts, but since the previous post degenerated into a political observation, I figured I got a pass on this one.
