As long as we're degenerating into the whimsical, it's also a homophone for a slang term for brother-in-law (BEAUF-rère).

Hello Vim List,

I listened to Bram's BOF this past weekend.  I still don't
know what BOF means.

From Wikipedia:

BoF is an acronym for:

Basic Oxygen Furnace
Birds of a Feather
beginning of file
Body-on-frame
Breath of Fire

BOF can also mean:

Baptism of Fire
>> Board of Finance
>> Battalions of Fear
>> Biography of Ferns
boron oxyfluoride.
>> Best of Five
British Orienteering Federation
>>
I would guess Birds of a Feather.  Which is it?


Surely Bit of Fun should be included in that list :-)

Rob.



In French, "bof" is an interjection denoting lack of interest: (How are you?) So-so. (Do you come with us?) Don't bother. (This new sweater is nice, isn't it?) Bah, if you say so.


Best regards,
Tony.
