    This has been bothering me today. Yes, I am very bored. I had made a tiny booboo at work and was in the middle of saying the f word, but had to swtich tracks and out came the word "farfegnugen?" I remember this word being used in a Volkswagen commercial when I was little, and we used to say it all the time as substitute F-word at that time. Does anyone knows what it means?

    According to my german teacher in high school (Mr. Degner, i forgot you were an Arundel Grad). Farfegnugen doesn't mean anything. Its just a nonsense word that they use, that really doesn't translate to anything.

    Ah, yes, Herr Degner, he was great. I had him for German, too, and he used to coach the indoor track team.

    Degner was great. He was my soccer coach Freshman and Sophmore year. When I scored, we didn't have German homework the rest of the week.

    Unlike their succeeding 'Bon Mot': "Drivers Wanted", which pointed out that most who bought VW's didnt know a dam thing about cars or they wouldnt have bought them in the first place!

    I has a German professor at College called Professor Mhus, pronounced Mousse. Of course we called him Herr Mousse or L'oreal for short.

    Thanks...so far I've owned a Golf, a Jetta a Passat and a Passat wagon. Having said that, I am going American in future and its a toss up between a Mustang or a Commando. I like the idea of a Commando just so that I can ride around in it with no underpants on.
