Because I can't reply to your "correction" of my English in the relevant thread anymore, I'm telling you here:
You don't know what fop means; you just typed into google and looked at the first dictionary definition to come up. Look it up better this time, and don't (pettily) correct people unless you actually know what you're talking about imo.

It's becoming a very predictable trick. I can't imagine I'm the only one who sees this.
