I have heard it pronounced as "f**k woof"
I'm pretty sure that wasn't how the Germans said it...

It remands me of a joke dad told me that he first herd when he was with the 8th Air Force.
There was a waist gunner that had a heavy foreign acescent that was in a post mission de-briefing after some heavy action "Two fokkers came in from 5 o'clock and I missed them, then one fokker came in from 3 o'clock and I think I got a piece of him" he said excitedly. The debriefing officer wrote something down then asked "So all 3 fighters were FW-190s?" "No the gunner answered, "The fokkers were Messerschmitts>

Well, this annoyed me today. I decided to print out some reports I need in order to do my taxes. Brought up the PDF file, sent it to the printer and .... nothing.
So I selected "troubleshooting" which showed all was just fine. Tried printing again, with same results.
So I tried a printer test page, which did not print. Tried it it again with the same results. Turned the printer on and off a dozen or so times and rebooted the computer.
But still not working.
So I fired up my old Windows XP machine, 20 plus years old, which I normally only use for scanning, plugged the printer into it, and tried printing a Word file. Did not print, but further investigation showed a message that said "Jam in printer output tray." Well, it was not in the output tray but it was in the feed to the output tray and when I unstuck it the printer test pages came rolling out.
Now WHY did my ancient Windows XP machine give me an error message that actually helped, while the Win 10 machine just said all was Okay?
More evidence that Win 10 is the worst OS ever!

This is when and why I stopped using win 10 and went back to Win 7.
My computer with 9 just under half full hard drives (C plus 4 for data and 4 for auto backup) and all except C were formatted (wiped clean). Fortunately I still had my old win7 box which had very limited disc space left. I loaded win7 on the new box and re-transferred all the data to the new computers much larger discs. It is still working fine tho getting long in the tooth. It also has an extra SSD in it now for processing scans to PDFs. I am currently looking at using it as a server and getting a new Apple computer to go with the Ipad.

My brother finally gave up on Windows and bought an Apple computer. He was well pleased with it for years, until one day Apple sent out an update to the OS. His HD was about full but he found he could get along fine by just saving items to USB drives. Then he found out the Apple update had eliminated the ability to save things to portable drives.....
Meanwhile, I was using Win10 and accessed an Excel file to make some changes to it. I tried saving the changes and the program closed. I tried that again with the same result. Finally I saw a message pop up on the screen saying that MS had TURNED OFF THAT VERSION OF EXCEL. It had been bought and paid for years before, but they were not just no longer updating it and just turned it off. You could open files but no longer save changes.
