This reminds me of a bit of urban folklore: The diplomatic plate
prefixes are supposedly randomly assigned every 10 years or so. The
USSR got "FC", which people, including the Soviets, assumed was a deliberate
acronym for F*****g Communists. The US refused to make any revisions.
Anyone else hear this?
