F is for F

One of the requirements for the 5 year B.Arch at Arkansas, when we were there at least, was to spend a semester outside of Fayetteville in approved "urban" study. We went to Rome - the Husband (then Fiance) as a student, me tagging along and taking care of things while studying the city with sketchbook and camera. 

The Program Director there had a habit quickly picked up and mimicked by the Toon Brothers over our late night card games. "When I was at Harvard," they would say with a mock-Italian accent, "Modernism .... F."  Apparently he said it quite a lot, and it began to apply to other things in life. It became a joke among us used in the same way the entire Internet uses Fail now.
