Did they beta test it at Bryan's house or something?

The sound of 'fappy' is good. I have once read an article where a psychologist said
that Japanese p-sounds 'pa-pi-pu-pe-po' and 'pya-pyi-pyu-pye-pyo' should easily stick in
Japanese memory. So mu guess is that the manufacture should have known a strong effect
of the 'pyi' sound.

<shudder>
I used to work for a client who was fax-happy. It was a nightmare--he'd
be constantly sending me faxes with corrections and updates to the
current job, even if it was just a correction of a minor "spelling"
error. I swear each job would use up a roll of fax-paper so I was kinda
glad when he stopped sending me work....

I prefer 'fuppy' to 'fappy'.

A translator I know got so fed up with the habit one of our common
clients had of sending page after page of "reference material" (most of
which was irrelevant or otherwise unnecessary) with every job that he
decided to teach them a lesson. After one particularly effusive flurry
of reference pages, he took a stack of about 200 blank sheets of paper,
dialed the client's number, and started feeding in the pages. A few
minutes later he received a frantic call from the flustered client
informing him that something was wrong with his fax machine. "Nothing's
wrong with it," he replied. "I'm just giving you some of your own medicine."
The reference faxes became much shorter after that. ;-)

Several years ago when a magazine wrote an unfavourable article about
one of Japan's cults ("koufuku no kagaku", I think), they faxed a blank
piece of paper to the magazine's office, taping one end of the paper to
the other after feeding it into the fax so that it looped forever,
causing the office fax to pour our reams of blank paper.

Yes, I thought it should be OBVIOUS that only one mind (if you can
call it that) on this group could come up with the term. I was looking
for a post which summed it up succinctly, not one which gave credit.

The subtleties of this immodestly prepared
excogitation would be better off not summed up
succinctly, yet magniloquently and discursively.
...and with a thesaurus.
(I'd let you use this one but it just exploded.)
