I think I'm more troubled by the popular trend of everything being "AF". I know they're not talking about the Air Force, so I'm just wondering what parents are telling their kids in the checkout when the urchins read it on some magazine cover.
My first thought for AF was atrial fibrillation. Oh I wish that were accurate and that I had not learned something which is not just slang but disrespectful of the human person. Father, would you mind posting a "warning, you may be about to encounter unwanted information/language" for the old-fashioned ROCOR crowd. My head covering hopefully serves as cultural ear and eye covering as well, so to speak. Thanks for anything you can do!

"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
