Fark.com

Fark.com is a popular community website allowing users to comment on a daily batch of news articles and notable websites, which it classifies as "Stupid", "Interesting", "Obvious", "Strange", "Spiffy", and so on. It is a weblog, originally created in 1999 by Drew Curtis as a way to share what he considered interesting news postings with his friends rather than sending them numerous emails.

Like many online communities, Fark.com has developed its own in-jokes known as "Farkisms" or "Fark clich�s". For example, "Fb- is the father" is often added to any report involving birth or pregnancy. One of these in-jokes is a clever way of preventing "First Post" messages. They are sent twelve hours into the future (making them one of the last posts), and "First Post" is turned into "Boobies".

Fark is a euphemism for fuck. Forms of the word include "farking," "farked," "farker."
