FUPA

[edit]

FUPA already exists. Is this a separate word? FUPA can apply to men too, apparently. 70.172.194.25 01:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Of course not. It is an alternative spelling then. I saw somebody in a chat writing it. It was of course suspicious that the guy who transcribed the song wrote it that way in spite of it being pronounced /uː/ and not /ʌ/ there. Some people on the internet also write it fupa. This is like laser instead of LASER. Fay Freak (talk) 01:54, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oh, at first I thought it might be (slightly) different because of the spelling. But I didn't notice the IPA had /u/. Alt spelling for sure. 70.172.194.25 01:57, 23 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
It is of course likely the case that the story “split” at some point and the derivation was transmitted differently. Can one track down the original environment where it arose? There are whole lists of “fitness trends” or rotating body goals passed around by fitness influencers from ab crack to V-taper that we fail to document and there is no “know your meme” for.
