I read the archives to make sure nobody already posted this. "-fu" has a entry in the jargon file: http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/f/-fu.html -fu [common; generalized from `kung-fu'] Combining form denoting expert practice of a skill. "That's going to take some serious code-fu." First sighted in connection with the GIMP's remote-scripting facility, script-fu, in 1998.
