Churro-Fi really is about fidelity, though. The dough, the oil, the cooking temperature, spices, etc. are vitally important.

This thread needs more cowbell-fi

'x'-fi-hate-fi. The newest subforum.

I dub this thread complaint-fi

What about Semper-Fi?

 

[MadMan007]

That's a different Fi (it's short for fidelis) and Semper Fidelis means Always Faithful. It's clearly got the same root word though.

At the same time the mangling of language bothers me at times. I just wonder if no one had actually thought about this before?

I mentioned this a year or so ago. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f11/du...8/#post5550776 well before it got as bad as it has now. It's one of the reasons I don't visit here so much nowadays, along with the signal to noise ratio.

Interesting to note that, according to the Wikipedia article on "Wi-Fi," the "fi" part of Wifi means absolutely nothing. "Wi" obviously means "wireless" but "fi" literally came out of nowhere - it just rhymed with hi-fi. But "fidelity" of signal is a dubious networking concept at best.

Okay, so Head-Fi makes sense?

 

[MadMan007]

Absolutely.

 

[Deep Funk]

Fi-tastic...

 

[SiBurning]

The OP seems concerned about fi-fi, the fidelity of the use of the suffix fi.

In the dumb thread names thread, someone mentioned another use of the word fi-fi.

Rather ironic.

Sigh. Quote Mining.

Rhetorical sarcasm, incongruously interpreted as irony.

So who knows what the "i" in the original "iMac" stood for?
