And aren't there some choice surfer terms for such newbies? And aren't there also some rather nasty things that experienced surfers do to the noobs? In comparison, we FF'ers are far more civilized than that!


I have an uncle who is an expert at Civil War history and who is independently wealthy from his stock market investments (but not from any inherited funds). Yet, he has not been on an airplane since 1996. He would be flummoxed by the TSA procedures. My uncle is a very smart man, very clever and expert in his own world. When it comes to air travel, however, he would be a true "Kettle".
Maybe he would be a Golden Kettle

That's the difference between an FF'ers and a Kettle - a true FF'er would never let the McD fries go cold, and would eat them in F while they are still hot and golden delicious crisp (usually during boarding, where FF'ers might be able to score a pre-departure beer to go along with the hot and golden delicious crisp fries). A Kettle in Y (or F) would let them get soggy and give off that skanky greasy smell.
