I was having a casual conversation with B today, I was trying to work out if her friend, with whom she enjoyed occasional carnal relations was, in fact, a friend or a FuBu. B was saying he was a friend first. I was saying that I thought a FuBu was someone you had gratuitous hot sex with on an occasional basis but, and here's the distinction, you didn't actually have to like.
I mean when you are scuba diving, you have a buddy. You don't have to like them. They are your responsibility and you have to stop them taking off their BCDs and trying to breathe water when the have nitrogen narcosis.
B disagrees. She thinks you have to like your FuBu for them to be a FuBu. Otherwise they are just a GoFu if the sex is good, or presumably a BuFu in which case they don't get asked back for a second go.
Interestingly, the Japanese for Fubu is "secu-frie". This is short hand for "sex friend" for a race of people who like to truncate words and are missing several important english consonants.
A brief sourjon onto the net doesn't show my definition of Fubu. What we get is
| Acronym | Definition |
|---|---|
| FUBU | For Us By Us (clothing brand) |
| FUBU | Fouled Up Beyond Understanding (polite form) |
| FUBU | Fouled Up Beyond Use (polite form) |
| FUBU | Fouled Up By User |
As for the second definition, it will never replace FUBAR in my heart.
