Talk:Stfnal

Shibboleth
There is a wikipedia reference to the pretty widely used phrase stfnal - albeit within fandom, but wide enough that it is the top phrase mentioned in the article within the first 4 example phrases: i.e. even higher priority than grok and filk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.18.98.64 (talk • contribs) 00:46, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

"Grok" gets over 3,000,000 Google hits, "filk" gets 870,000 and "stfnal" gets 1,790. Not really a relevant word any more. Hu 10:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Scifi
How does it compare to "scifi", pronounced "skiffy", as a subcategory of Sci-Fi? -- Metahacker 20:44, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I think that this might be an Americanism: the UK version is 'sfnal'. "Skiffy" means, generally, media SF and is used to distinguish it from (ahem) Real SF. Flick 217.146.126.149 23:15, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

No, we use 'sfnal' in the USA, too. I've never seen or heard 'stfnal', and wonder if this is a typo? Pete Tillman 20:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
