f2f - (adv.) Abbreviation for "face to face."
e.g., Abbreviations such as f2f turn up more and more these days. It's part of a new dialect: lol "laugh out loud," g2g "got to go," tbh "to be honest," imho "in my humble opinion," and so on and on. It takes a while, of course, to see meaning rather than random letters in these initialisms. I call it "glyphisis" (q.v.): the process by which we start seeing, not three symbols (f-2-f) but the words "face to face." Now, f2f hasn't fully glyphed in my mind. I still see "f-2-f." It doesn't help that it looks like it should be pronounced "fuh-toof!" like some magical sound effect: "Abracadabra!" Fuh-toof!

To use a facebook's interface to indicate that someone is your friend. This is sometimes done to relative strangers as a way of indicating that you've heard about them. Most facebooks provide an interface allowing you to browse your "friend network," so facebooking someone can be used as a way to meet new people. |
(verb) To post something to a Facebook account. To facebook is already in use for adding someone to a Facebook account holder's friends' network.
Since there's been no verb to facebook, facebook could well become the verb of choice for uploading something to Facebook: I facebooked our prom pictures ~ I posted our prom pictures to my Facebook account.
e.g., "Hey, you know Bob, right? So you must know his best friend Jeff." "Actually, we haven't met. I only facebooked him." | I facebooked our prom pictures. Check 'em out.

Noun or verb. The canonical facepalm: Press your nose into your palm with your fingers and thumb spread over your face. You do this in response to something stupid you did or said, as opposed to something stupid someone else did. You may look as if you're trying to hide. Variation on a theme: If you facepalm in response to something someone else did, you may cover only your forehead or part of it and shake your head, giving no impression of trying to hide. Shaking your head without covering your face is an alternative to any sort of facepalm.
e.g., Glenn facepalmed at Corey's comment, "But that's exactly what I just said five minutes ago." | "Somewhere, Scalia is facepalming" regarding the decision of the Indiana Supreme Court that you have no choice but to say, "Yes, sir, may I have another?" when police trample on your Fourth Amendment rights by entering your home illegally. |

submitted by Matthew Strebe - (www)
facilitize -
Variant of facilitate, heard during a meeting by someone who wanted to sound important. | This is an addition to an inaccurate comment about this word. This word is an esoteric invention within the engineering, specifically the semiconductor industry. For lack of a more descriptive term referring to the installation of "facilities" meaning the water, gasses, chemicals, electricity, etc. necessary to provide specific processing machinery with the substances necessary to accomplish the complicated processes. To install facilities to the machine is loosely "facilitizing" the equipment. Engineers typically use language that most correctly expresses the meaning they are trying to convey rather than attempting to "sound important" as the current explanation goes. This word is not the same as to facilitate which means to enable (not related to facilities) as is often listed as the correct variation of the word.
{ED. This so-called correction was apparently submitted by a self-important engineer of some sort. (Perhaps one of Larry's two brothers named Daryl -- who can't remember how to spell his own name?) The submittal he claims is incorrect was made by someone who had actually heard facilitize misused for facilitate -- and made a record on the Internet of what he had heard. "Corrections" such as this? We can live without them.
As for what engineers say and don't say, I worked as an engineer for some thirty years before I went into business for myself and took on this site as an avocation. My jobs included being head of an engineering department with about two-hundred employees in it, a majority of whom were engineers -- including some who held doctorates in various engineering disciplines. I never heard a single one of them do what Daryl claims "engineers do."
Urbandictionary gets it right with its entry for facilitize: "A horribly incorrect usage, based on the word facilitate. This word ignorantly runs rampant within Boeing and possibly other corporate entities. It means to go make sure that all facilities are in place for an upcoming project." The Urbandictionary entry was made September 23, 2009, some five-and-a-half years before Daryl came up with his incorrect "correction."
"Words" such as facilitize don't belong in real dictionaries -- only in pseudo-dictionaries that aren't intended be taken seriously. Daryl is clearly not sharp enough to have picked up on that. Nota bene:: The Daryls of the world give engineers a bad name when it comes to English usage.}
e.g., We need to facilitize the completion of this important project. | The Wet Bench Module site has been fully facilitized and is ready for equipment installation.

fact off - To "fact someone off" is to dispute their beloved arguments and cherished beliefs through recourse to measly facts.
e.g., "Don't fact ME off." | "You can't fact me off with that."
submitted by Adam Leslie
fact simile - It sounds like a fact, it looks like a fact, it's accepted as fact, but it really isn't a fact: it's misunderstanding, it's ignorance, it's fantasy, it's deception, or the like.
e.g., A lot of the stuff we hear on the daily news consists of fact similes, not necessarily facts. (ED. Is it a fact that the previous sentence is a fact simile? Which would that be, a conundrum or a paradox -- or a sort of paradox simile?)
factastic - An adjective applicable to a written work stuffed with facts that are undeniably true but bear no real relation to the work's premise in any way.
e.g., Wow! That Intelligent Design lecture was totally factastic.
submitted by Sandy - (www)
factasy - (FAC-tuh-see; n.) 1. a work of nonfiction; 2. a story in which an imaginary person or people review or tour a given real process, such as a group of students taking a tour of a crayon factory, or the ocean, or a volcanic magma system, or the human circulatory system; 3. a retelling of history as a tale, with or without a fictional narrator or protagonist. (adj.) 1. of or pertaining to (a) works of nonfiction or (b) stories containing the study or review of some real history or process by real or imaginary persons or groups. [from 'Fact' + '-tasy' from 'fantasy.']
e.g., "Western? Science Fiction? Fantasy? Spy novel? What's your genre?" "Factasy, I'm afraid: I need a catalog of plumbing supplies."
factette - Essentially the same as a common meaning given to "factoid": a trivial fact, a "small" fact. A factlet?
"Factette" might be a better choice than "factoid" for "little facts." Most linguists, in fact, insist that "factoid" be used only in the way Norman Mailer coined it in Marilyn -- for something that is incorrect, invented, or unverified; for something that looks like a fact and could be a fact, but isn't. (The first part of the previous sentence is a factoid of the Mailer sort, not a factette -- how could I possibly know what most linguists insist on?)
As a suffix, "-oid" is often used for similarities: "-oid" = "-like"; while "-ette" is used for smallness. "Humanoid" means "humanlike" and "spheroid" means sort of round. Not the real thing, but almost -- or the sharing of some features. In astronomy, the "-oid" ending is used for objects that are smaller as well as similar: asteroid, planetoid.
Word Navigator: . . . words starting with oid, containing oid, ending with oid.
e.g., Lillith: "Dammit. I wish HD would quit adding factettes to the descriptions and definitions." Betsy: "Why? I kind of like it. Besides, the old fart has a lot of fun doing it."

facticious - Believable fiction, unbelievable fact, or any similar combination.
e.g., That epic Joe told seemed facticious to me.

faction - Fact-based fiction or fiction based on real events where poetic license, exaggeration, and hyperbole are applied to the factual events.
e.g., _The Hunt for Red October_ is an example of a factional novel.
submitted by Paul F. Kisak
factitious - An adjective applicable to a written work containing lots of facts that appear superficially to support it's premise but doesn't really do so in any logical way. (I'm surprised to see that this wasn't already in the pd as a blend of fact+fictitious, its more common definition.)
e.g., John's analysis of Carl Jung's theories was totally factitious -- what did last year's UFO sighting statistics have to do with anything?
submitted by Sandy
factoid - Factoids are a series of facts or truths on a related subject. Basically, small bits of information.
e.g., She was pumping me for factoids about her ex-roomie, but I clammed up.
submitted by CJ Critt - (www)
factoid - 1. An authoritative-sounding but untrue pseudo-fact created for publicity purposes, fed to the press, and printed as true; a bogus "sound bite." Coined by Norman Mailer in his book Marilyn, a biography of Marilyn Monroe. (ED. The Word Detective, Evan Morris: "Mailer defined "'factoids' as pseudo-facts, ' . . . facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper, creations which are not so much lies as a product to manipulate emotion. . . .' Unfortunately, USA Today and other news outlets have since used 'factoid' to mean 'interesting little fact,' a perversion that must please the famously irascible Mr. Mailer no end.") 2. A statement that looks like a fact but is untrue or meaningless, particularly one that "everybody knows." 3. Incorrectly used to mean a (true) fact by people who don't know what "-oid" means.
e.g., 1. It is not true that Marilyn Monroe was an orphan. That was a factoid planted by her publicist. 2. Fun, but not true, factoid: Scientists say you only use 5 to 10 per cent of your brain.

faddenfreude - (FAH-den-FROY-deh; n.) The enjoyment of participating in a fad, like ducktails, disco, coonskin caps, and rubik's cubes, tie-dying, and zoot suits. [From "Fad" + "Freude," German for "joy."] See "Faddenschmerz."
e.g., I remember not being able to contort myself fast enough to spin a hula hoop continuously---or even intermittently---like my sister could. She and her friends were filled with hula-hoop faddenfreude, and later, with the faddenfreude of pogo-sticks, stilts, and mood rings.
faddenschmerz - (FAH-den-shmrts; n.) The feeling of disconnection from society caused by not being up to speed with the latest fashion trend, toys, cars, games, vel. cet. [From "Fad" + "schmerz," German for weariness or sorrow (the second element of "weltschmerz"= "world-weariness.")]
e.g., My sister was really into hula-hoops when we were kids, and pogo sticks and stilts and mood rings; But I was never in sync with all of those fads. I always felt somehow left out: pure Faddenschmerz.
faded - The lack of clearity after an extensive drinking binge a.k.a. hungover 2. Burnout
e.g., Damn, Dan your looking pretty faded after that party last night.
submitted by Shaolin
fader - We say someone "fades" from our memory. A "fader" dissolves from the world itself. A "fader" is someone who does not seem to exist--though the "fader" is still there, no one in the world wants to recognize that fact. Plural is "faders," and indicates each and every "fader" in a group. "Faders" are the forgotten souls, the forgotten dreams that slipped away. Faders are everywhere.
e.g., 1. On the street corner in the middle of winter, a fader sits and begs for food. 2. When I was only four years old, my father went to the corner grocery to get a pack of cigarettes. He never returned. I barely remember him; my mother refuses to, because he deserted us. He was a father; now he's a fader.

faff - To put something off for a extensive amount of time until it has been forgotten, hence it is no longer important.
e.g., Sarah, stop faffing and get on with it.
submitted by brooke - (www)
faff around - Also faff about. UsingEnglish.com says both are phrasal verbs that mean "to behave indecisively." Given the examples, another phrasal verb came to mind.
I first ran across faff around in the profile for User:Run! at Wikipedia.* The way Run! used it caused me to think what I thought of at UsingEnglish.com. Taking the two uses together, I'm convinced I'm seeing bowdlerized definitions for faff around.
I found an amusing essay for faff, recorded by The Wayback Machine. That diamond in the rough cites the Oxford English Dictionary's claim that faff means fuss or dither -- and goes on to dispute the claim. The author then provides the "real meaning of faff" and comes up with what I shall call the Canonical Set of Faff Equations, along with illustrative graphs. He concludes his presentation with this observation: "[A] certain background level of faff is required to maintain everyone's sanity." (His serious-toned presentation for his "true case" reminded me of The Journal of Irreproducible Results.)
While the OED is right in what it has in print, if you take current uses of faff around to mean fuck around, a lot of the time you won't be far off. I generally accept the OED's tout that it's "The definitive record of the English language," so I figure it just hasn't got around to faff in a recent quarterly update. . . . Not to say that the OED is faffing around, but I may not live long enough to see that update.
* Speaking of Wikipedia. . . .
I stumbled across what I knew was a disgusting phrase when I was trying to find internet references to visible tanga line. I was almost certain I had seen the phrase earlier at either Dirt-tionary, DirtyProverbs, or Urbandictionary.
When I googled for confirmation, I uncovered a Wikipedia Reference Desk archive for April 2006. You can run across some pretty interesting stuff playing around with Wikipedia archive page addresses in your browser's address bar. Such as a little note mentioning (with truthiness) that it's anatomically impossible for the Easter Bunny to lay chocolate eggs.
Although that piqued my curiosity, I haven't bothered following up. Have at it if you're so inclined and you're an adult -- or if your adult managers are all right with such inquisitiveness on your part. I'm sure you've seen much worse than you'll find in Wikipedia's archives. I certainly have.
e.g., "She told him to stop FAFFING AROUND and make his mind up." | I have too much important stuff to do now to faff around with this site any more.

fair - (adj.) Originally a word meaning "beautiful" (Anglo-Saxon 'faeger' AD 800), then "morally incorrupt" (1150), then "free from bias" (1350), and finally "equitable and just"; it has, however, evolved in the last five decades into a term meaning little more than "I don't like that conclusion," "that's not what I wanted," "I want more," or even "he should have to suffer that same things I had to." In this connection, fair is not only NOT fair; it is downright brutish and contravenes the original tenets of nearly every religion I have ever studied (i.e., Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, Shinto, the various beliefs of several Native American nations, totemic and animistic belief systems, etc.). Fair seems now to belong to the ever-increasing vocabulary of ingratitude eating away at the mores of American society (what's left of it)....wow: I'm getting grim. |
(adj.) How I want things to be, regardless of equity, reality, or sense.
"Fair" is a self-contradictory word if there ever was one. As a noun, it means a popular festival, decked with a carnival atmosphere of fun and folly, filled with games (most of which are rigged or impossible), spectacle (gigantic pigs, over-sized pumpkins, and new farm equipment for sale), fly-covered food, and rides that vie with one another in trying to make you vomit. You go home from one of these flushed with excitement, empty calories, and gastrointestinal distress, fond memories of almost winning that plush pink kangaroo for your girl (a futility that cost you three times its actual price), a blue ribbon for rhubarb pie (which the judges chose because it was coated with the fewest flies), and probably worrisome debt for having gone in on the purchase of a $36,000 combine harvester with the neighboring farms on either side.
As an adjective, it means both "beautiful" (its original meaning, btw) as well as "not so beautiful," for example: "The princess was a fair woman to look upon"; as opposed to "The duchess wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was fair." (Feel free to swap genders around ... it works either way). In the grading systems of two or three generations ago, "fair" fell below "good" and the supernal "excellent" though above "poor" and "failing."
And despite its more and more rarely used sense of "legal" (in baseball: "fair catch") and "pleasant" (in meteorology: "fair and breezy"), the poor word keeps on being twisted into "the way I want it."
e.g., "Hey! Why does Haruki get more a bigger hamburger than me? That's not fair!" "Well, you see, you are a 30-kilo little girl. Haruki is a 380-kilo Sumo wrestler. You are going to have a hard time eating your hamburger as it is; you couldn't eat Haruki's hamburger in four days." "Hmph. It's still not fair." "Okay: Tell you what: tomorrow, you can wear Haruki's clothes to school."
"Hey! He gets 150 quid? Same as me?! He's only 14! That's not fair!"
"Of course it's fair: I'm paying you both minimum---"
"Right! Minimum wage! But I get more than him, don't I?"
"Yes, but---"
"So, why are you paying him more than me?! I'm 20! He's only 14!"
"Yes, and that's---"
"It's because I'm a black woman from Spain, isn't it? It is! You're discriminating?!!"
"WHAT?!! You are NOT a---I'm the black woman from Spain! You're a white man from Friday Bridge!"
"So you are discriminating against me! ....
"Here, I've an idea!: while we're waiting for the police, let's have a cuppa, and I'll explain."
"Oh, yes! May I pour out?! or do you discriminate on that too?"
"No, I ... no, um, of course you can pour out."
"One lump or two?"
"Just one, thank you."
"Sugar?"
"What? ... All right, look here: You're 20 years old. Your minimum wage is �4.98."
"Cucumber sandwiches?"
"Where did ... yes ... um, yes, please .... As I was saying �4.98, and you worked 30 hours these last two weeks."
"Pound cake?"
"What? Where ... How? Yes, yes, pound cake, of course, pound cake......So, �4.98 by 30 hours is �149.40, see?"
"Ooooh, is that your new phone? How sleek!"
"No, it's a calculator I bought new in 1980."
"No, it can't be, they were much bulkier than, with antennas ... like in the---
"WILL YOU SHU---yes, yes. No no no: I'm not a bit upset. Now: you have your �149.40 here for your 30 hours. Now, little Ben, who is only 14, gets the lower minimum wage of �3.68. But he worked for 41 hours these last two weeks."
"That's too much for a wee laddie, missus. You shouldn't work him so hard or they'll get you for discrimination AND the factory acts."
"Uh....yes. Well, Ben worked 41 hours the last two weeks, and he works for only �3.68 an hour."
"More Tea?"
"No no, um, Thank you, no. ... �3.68 by 41 hours is �150.88. So, you see, it is completely fair and equitable."
"More pound cake? Biscuits?"
"No, thank you....What's that smell?"
"Ah, that's the fish and chips."
"Fish and---?!"
"Yes, of course, we aim to please here at ... your shop."
"Now, let's see: tea, cucumber sandwiches, pound cake, biscuits, fish and chips, and a modest service fee for pouring out .... comes to �55. Will that be cash, check, or charge?
"But, that's not fair."
"Well, let's have a cuppa and I'll explain."
fair share - Used by those left of center who think well-off people should pay more than they do in taxes -- regardless of how much the well-off pay. When I was a kid, my grandmother taught us to share our communal bounty -- even though ours had to be one of the poorest households in town. When a piece of candy or such was to be split between two of us, one would do the splitting and the other would get to pick which "half" to take. Such sharing did not apply to what one of us worked and was paid for while the other sat on her ass. We got to keep what we earned from third parties.
e.g., �The rich must pay their fair share.� | "The President's only asking you to pay your 'fair share.'" "Really? Great. That must mean I get to decide how much my fair share is." "Yeah right." "It doesn't mean that? Oh."

fancy bread - (n.) a REALLY good clue (especially one that essentially gives away the correct solution). The term comes from the song sung in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, Act III Scene ii, where Bassanio has to select the correct box (gold, silver, or lead) in order to wed Portia, his lady love. Portia orders her musicians to sing so that even if Bassanio picks the wrong box, he may depart from her accompanied by song. Rather obviously, the song begins "Tell me where is fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head? How begot, how nourished?" All three lines end in "-ed," which just happens to rhyme with "lead," which just so happens to be the correct box to choose. (When I taught my students this play in Freshman literature, I'd always finish the rhyme with a whispered "Choose the casket made of lead.") Anyway, when I say "fancy bred," everyone hears "fancy bread," so I submit it with that spelling.
e.g., (To a five-year-old)"Can you guess what in this box of candy? ... oh, shoot." (five-year-old laughs) "Daddy, you just gave it away! It's candy!" (Daddy grins sheepishly) "No I didn't, it was just a fancy bread."

Just found out from Lleny that they don't allow private bonfires on the beach!?!? This was going to be my "THING"! My "thanks for coming out, night after the wedding" thing. :'( It all seemed so perfect until I found this out... I really wanted a private bonfire.
You can pay with either cash or credit at checkout (I don't believe that travelers checks are allowed). Your wedding coordinator will give you a line item listing of the charges when you meet with them before the wedding. Just a warning, all prices are calculated in pesos and the resort will not convert it to US Dollars...so be ready to calculate the conversion to be sure that the price that your coordinator quoted is indeed what they are charging you! We did not have an problems with our bill but other brides on this site have had some issues. At least you will have a couple days to look over the bill before it is due.
Hey Brides! We are getting Married April 22, 2013. I have all my planning almost done, but I'm not sure when we actually pay for the wedding? Do we pay when we arrive? Have our meeting with our wedding planner? Can you pay cash/check/credit?
thank you Rebecca1314!! I would of never thought of the conversion, I better brush up on my math skills!
you will be charged the whole room rate about a week before you arrive, and if you have a wedding package they charge that to your bill when you check out. we were under the impression that everything was charged the week before. oh no surprise when you check out they say oh by the way you owe $$. we were very upset when we checked out and that nobody had explained this to us before hand. plus when we checked out there was no wedding coordinators working. just be careful about that.
other than that, excellence is the place to get married and to vacation. we would go back tomorrow. congrats!
Ya, I was fairly bumbled, but then I was like, "do I want to try to find a whole new wedding location over a bonfire?". No, no I don't, so I'm thinking maybe a Welcome Cocktail Sunset catamaran cruise? By the way, I have been speaking with Llenny and does this sound odd to anyone... If I want to book for 2014, you can't hold your date until Dec 2013. So depending on when you want to get married that only gives you 1-12 months to tell everyone. Like if I want Feb. my guests only get 3 months notice. What the heck!? How are people supposed to have time to save money? I want mid June, my date won't be held until Dec, so what, I can only send out my save the dates 6 months in advance? These people are going to need at LEAST a year to save. Do I send them out a year early anyway saying "Save the Date Summer 2015" or "Save the Date June 2015" Then just cross my fingers and pray June doesnt get all sold out before I can hold my date? I wanted to do brochure save the dates so that people have resort info and can start booking early, maybe do payment installments etc, but they can't do that if I don't even have a solid date until 6 MONTHS OUT. IM FREAKIN OUT MAN!!! How come I've never seen this mentioned on the boards before!?

That definitely sounds weird to me. I spoke with Nayeli in the beginning of May 2012 and confirmed my date for May 4, 2013. Have you tried calling and speaking with anyone on the phone? If you get the same response, I would try asking to speak with Nayeli. I call and speak with her quite often (when I don't feel like waiting on an email response) via Skype and it costs me less than $.10/minute.
Even though I speak with her over the phone. I still email her my questions so she can respond to them in writing and we both have copies. However, calling and getting an immediate answer calms my nerves since sometimes it takes several weeks before they're able to respond back to your emails.
I'm looking ahead to 2015 and a LOT can change in that time so i dont want to bug them TOO much now, but I'm kind of type A when it comes to event planning which is why im trying to get as much info as possible now. So when the time comes closer it will all be done in a snap.
Its so funny because after i stopped freaking out i was able to whip up an adjusted STD/Invite timeline for the 6 months. Its a little cramped, semi vague 11 months out but doable.
I'm really hoping that she mis-typed and meant it in a way that gives us a year. But I did write her back to double check.
She has been GREAT response wise those. I saw some questionable reviews on Llenny from some ladies here but she has gotten back to me in 2 days every single time. I can always expect an answer "the day after tomorrow".
Thanks danak71, knowing you picked a date a year out puts me at ease.
That's awesome she's been so responsive to you! Just keep in mind when wedding season gets underway again, it may not be like that. LOL When I talked to Nayeli last week she told me it's slow there right now.
But I'm sure if you're thinking about 2015 you can get your date at least a year in advance. EPM is such a beautiful property! Good luck with your decision about venue and all your planning!
