Fuckoffee

[Trainday]

The name of of a coffee shop I walk past daily.

Brilliantly clever fun play on words, or somewhere you'd avoid?

It's always very busy and according to colleagues serves excellent coffee.

If it's the one on Bermondsey Street, it's a nice place with good coffee. My kids do read the name out if we walk past it but I'm not too bothered.

@Kpo58

snog - how is that crude? It's just a type of kissing.

has it gained a new meaning these days??

@jennifersa for coffee / fuck off-we

Their coffee is great though. Really relaxed nice coffee shop. The name is silly but it did get my attention!

If the coffee is good, I don't care what they call it!

For Coffee would have been better though. Give people a slow smile instead of being so obvious.

Not sure the name would fuss me either way, not that clever. Their is a vegan restaurant in Brighton called
Waikikamookau, that took me years before the penny dropped! 😁

Lighten up! I doubt that you and your MIL are their target market!

Waikikamookau - that's clever and not looking for shocks. Using the word fuck is just done for shock value (otherwise why use it), bit obvious and not very clever.

Yes I know what they are saying but writing fuck and offee isn't a play on words.

I prefer the Perky Blenders name… thought that was clever.

I’m surprised Fuckoffee got planning permission for signage (if indeed they need it)

I must be a bit slow this morning, said it a few times now and still don't get it

Does the play on words depend on your accent?

For me, "for coffee" doesn't sound like "fuck offee". More like "fork offee" (like the Two Ronnies sketch four candles/fork handles).

So "For Coffee" would be lost on me too.

Why kick a moo cow

Why indeed?

I get that, but it's not a particularly funny pun IMHO

I guess with them being vegan it may make sense

'Waikikamukau' is New Zealand slang for a generic country town... Similar to in the wop wops or in the boonies. I'd suspect the Brighton café had an NZ connection somewhere.

I seem to recall the Bermondsey one got in trouble with the Council. I think they were made to put in an asterisk.

You can't call your business anything. There was a short lived bar/restaurant near us a few years ago that decided to call themselves "Pussy Liquor". After a short and fairly blunt conversation with the Council they changed it.

I think it’s funny. I’d give them some business!

It's not that I'm offended by the profanity in the name exactly*, it's more that I'd be a bit miffed that they think I would be either offended or impressed by it. I imagine the proprietors being about 19, and very hipster.

*I would be pissed off if I had my young dc with me when I walked past.

One of my nicknames is 'Tourette's Girl' (apologies to anyone who actually does suffer with the condition). Despite being a fairly sweary individual, I'd avoid it, with an eye roll.

The name wouldn't put me off if the beverage offering was good, but it isn't remotely witty or clever.

If the coffee's good, I'm in

What if they are 19 and hipster? Good for them!

Agreed! I love a good pun, but this is shit!

We’d go in, DH loves a bit of controversy.

Cabin crew have been saying it for years along with apple pie and scratch your hairy crotch (bye bye and thank you very much).
