furrfu

excl.

[Usenet; written, only rarely spoken] Written-only equivalent of Sheesh!; it is, in fact, sheesh modified by rot13. Evolved in mid-1992 as a response to notably silly postings repeating urban myths on the Usenet newsgroup alt.folklore.urban, after some posters complained that Sheesh! as a response to newbies was being overused. See also FOAF.
