I want to say flush, but I don't know how that works with the clue other than f-lush.
― ailsa, Sunday, 23 August 2009 12:41 (fifteen years ago) link
f for fortissimo, which is loud or strong?
lush being the drunk
fat city, i haven't a clue tbh
― Amateur Darraghmatics (darraghmac), Sunday, 23 August 2009 12:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Well yeah, I got the f and lush, hence answering flush, but I don't get the fat city which is why I think it's not the right answer. Though loud drunk is a good clue for flush.

It was probably too American, too slangy, too much dated American slang for this thread, I just liked the surface reading.
There's also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_City_(film)
Or this: http://www.fatcitymedia.com/

Nothing wrong with a bit of slang now and then. It does ring a faint bell.

but i'm pretty sure about 'inst' as referring to 'this month' in written correspondence. if that doesn't sound too wanky.
