FJB?
Fuck Joe Biden I assume
Correct
Because like schoolchildren or Ned Flanders we must not say bad words but abbreviations or euphemisms are okely dokely.
I have a neighbor who was a bumper sticker, very large, that is "FJB" exactly like that. I've seen some who spell out "Fuck Joe Biden" as well, but most (in my area) try to be a bit more subtle
Well it started because at a nascar race a chant started "Fuck Joe Biden" and the newscaster said they were chanting "Let's go Brandon" as someone named Brandon nascars I guess. The newscaster either misheard or quickly covered because the FCC says "we must not say bad words but abbreviations or euphemisms are okely dokely" on television, and now it's a meme to them.
Frankly I don't like the FCC or their censorship anyway but that's me. Been on the "fuck the FCC, PMRC, RIAA, etc" train since before the FCC wouldn't let Em be.
