FVB= Fickle VB?!
I made a typo when I was typing ‘fickle’ btw, which would have been, uh, a very specially embarrassing typo had I not caught it.

I was typing a paper in college about the fighting tactics used by wooden ship navies. Their cannons could fire Grapshot - a lot of small steel balls used to sweep the deck of the opposing ship. Basically using a cannon as a huge shotgun.

At one point I typed grapeshit and never caught it. But the professor did!
