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.

i amuse myself by doing this at work with people I don’t like- ‘anyone for coffee?’

I'm surprised it got away with it! i know of someone who tried to open a hair salon called Blowjobs but couldn't get approval (from who I'm not sure, could have been industry specific).

I don't like it but if I lived nearby and it was convenient I'd get over it. It certainly wouldn't entice me in.

I also hate ordering cocktails with crude names.

There used to be, maybe still is, an antique shop in Ladbroke Grove called Les Couillers de Chien. My mate was dead impressed until I informed her that the translation was the mutt's nuts.

We have a local chippy called the Cod's Scallops. Love it.

Same, I don't like it either. I try not to swear in front of my kids and I never swear in front of my parents. Maybe I'm a bit uptight. My family do swear but for some reason I don't like doing it in front of them. So it would be a bit difficult for me to suggest meeting my mum at Fuckoffee. I also don't think it's great for children to see. Obviously they will come across swearing in life and no harm done, but I don't think it should be coming from a high street shop.

I saw an ad for a hair salon recently called “Curl up and dye”.
I read somewhere once that for some reason hairdressers often try to come up with particularly unusual names, more so than other businesses.
I’ve definitely encountered several myself, “Cut the crap” being one I remember off the top of my head.

Only if they serve it with a piss off cake on the side

Fuck off ee

Us too!

I want a fish shop called Oh my Cod
or one in Devon called Cod in Devon.
🤣

‘You fuck-offee?’ was a lame joke we used about 30 years ago 😂 It’s prob been around a lot longer than that though.

Years ago there was a shop in Blackheath called ‘Shoot the Aged’. I don’t know how they got away with that.

There’s also Dirty Dicks pub in London (quite interesting background to it). I wouldn’t want a kitchen from Dirty Dick, thanks very much.

I love cut the crap! There was a Curl up and Dye around here too. And a Silk Cutz back when everyone had a pack in their pocket or bag.

I remember an 'a salt and battered' chippy in Sheffield.
Very un-pc now!

There's still one where I live in Lincolnshire. It's a mobile van an they are going to be at the local pub this weekend for the football. I think it's horrible and offensive but I am in the minority here.

My memory of this (especially'you fuckoffee?) was that it was said in a Chinese/Thai restaurant waiter bad accent and therefore for me it's an odd thing to call a cafe. Someone upthread mentioned racist overtones and that's sort of where I am on it but appreciate younger people may not have the same connection.

I changed my name as colleagues on here will recognise me ! I walk past this every day too OP and have many times thought of doing a Mn thread!!

It makes me hugely pissed off. It's like a sort of manspreading, spreading edgy swearyness into the public domain so that parents who would rather not explain it to their children and people who don't want to see that have no choice.

It's not even clever or a subtle pun - FCUK was at least not just saying it but givinga hint. It's just like painting "Cunt!" on something. Why bother? Why not do something wittier?!

I deliberately avoid it - there's a really sweet little one with excellent coffee called Rastro a bit closer to the tube on the same side. I recommend giving them your business instead.
