You're absolutely right, in
internet culture fafap has been fairly common for lets say 6 years. That being said, I've never heard someone say it out load outside of talking about this discussion in person with other people who play on EZ. Conversely, I hear mobbin or variations of the word in its various different forms on a daily basis in person... and only very little on the internet, and that only pertaining to the gangsta rap context it's used in - different strokes for different folks. Now, in
rap culture mobbin is very common. How common? The record the song MOB is on "Until the End of Time" was certified triple platinum this year, meaning it's sold more then 3 million copies.. so no I doubt it's obscure if there are 3 million copies floating around. Not to mention the
LEGION of rappers who have taken that phraseology and run with it, spawning many more millions of albums sold. Where I come from, in the Bay Area of California this slang term is extremely common... but then again we have a lot of slang that's fairly unique to our geographic area. MOB is just about obscure as FAP, both are relatively new words to the English language both of which (in my opinion at the very least) are in violation of the naming policy. They're both new enough to have a large number of people who have never heard of them while also having another large number of people who hear it on a nearly daily basis. You can't just be picky and choosey about what is in violation of the naming policy because you haven't heard of it or you think it's obscure, it's whether it is intended to be offensive or whether Hunter deems it offensive or in violation of the naming policy that we all know so well by now (sex race hate). Since he encourages us to self police the policy I take that as a cue for all of us to use our combined knowledge to make sure that the naming policy is enforced to Hunter's standards. Or should I just use the rule of thumb that if I type it into google and get offensive results that it's common enough to be deemed inappropriate and in violation of policy? Try searching for Money Over Bitches.. the results are a tad different >.>. It's like trying to make the distinction between stfu and shut the fuck up.

Since I've been thinking about this all day >.< I've come up with some inappropriate drug references that are in violation of naming policy - Poor, poor Midol. Any sex related drugs would of course be in violation of the naming policy, as poor Midol already got banned for their ignorance.
P.S. Neat pic - does it come with a last modified date? cause I doubt they knew what fapfap meant when people still took black and white photos ROFL. Infact....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAP "Femtocell (Femto Access Point), a small cellular telephone base station" would be my guess as to the actual context of that photo =D. Before having the fapping comment added to the bottom of course. =D
