Terrell,

F****a just doesn't have the same off-color whimsy that Clemens's H**l
had so many years ago when he named his home town and yours. Yet your
neologism hints at something more energetic.  In trying a half-dyslexic
reading of F*****a, I came up with an amusing epithet of the sort used
extensively in the military--perhaps appropo in this age of terrifying
preemptive strikes against terror (and the Constitution).
