"Sir, 'Sir' is a subservient word surviving from the surly days in old Serbia, when certain serfs, too ignorant to remember their lord's names, yet too servile to blaspheme them, circumvented the situation by surrogating the subservient word, sir, by which I now belatedly address a certain senior cirroped, who correctly surmised that I was syrupy enough to say sir after every word I said, sir."

My understanding is that FOB means "Fresh Off Boat," someone new to the US. I'm not familiar with this otherwise -- I don't know if it is considered derogatory or not.

I always thought FOB was "Friend of Bill" meaning Bill Clinton.

Why is the University of Kansas known as KU and not UK? Is it to avoid confusion with Kentucky?
