As far as I give a flying /fVk/ in a high wind.  (Ascii-ipa due to stroppy
mailserver, V is wedge)

It's a fairly idolectical expression, meaning "this explanation suffices under
these circumstances", but it's a sub-culture thang.

On a related note, what's the longest _meaningful_ sentance (preferably in
English, but I'm a flexible kinda guy) that we can think of that consists purely
of obscenities?  There's a conlang slant in there, as I'm on the verge of
putting honorifics into a conlang, and I'm trying to do it purely lexically
(rather than thru morphology).
