NFG

This one apparently needs some editorial help. I noticed this at the local "transfer station" in the small bunker where microwaves and propane tanks go to die. "NFG" is a helpful appellation indicating that the thing in question really is "No F-rzing Good" at all. You might think "Do Not Use" would cover it, but folks like to be sure. I first saw this in the service station back in the day; oxy-acetylene tanks with bad valves marked NFG with yellow crayon. I'm sure it is militarily derived, like it's cousin FUBAR.

The Rated-G full-text version here refers to a specific unsuitability For Grilling. When in doubt, RTFM.
