totally random conversation just came up at work, talking about thunderbirds...and we couldnt remember what FAB stands for! were pretty sure its something to do with sayin ok or something along those lines eg over and out, but we want to know what the individual letters stand for! e.g. SOS = Save Our Souls
Thankyou in advance for your help!!

It doesnt stand for anything - Gerry Anderson just made it up as far as i can remember

[LastChanc]

One of the most common questions posted to this site is about the meaning of the term FAB. The acronym actually stands for nothing as Gerry Anderson later explained: "In the 1960s the buzz word was ‘fabulous’; this became shortened to fab and so we used FAB as a code meaning your message has been received and understood."

So you're quite correct Fish heads, but being bored at 00:30 I had to go google it.

Yep that's totally right, but there have been fans over the years that have made up their own meanings, assuming it was an acronym and they have all been.. wel. pathetic, lol.

[Daz14]

ahh ok! thankyou!
so our huge conversation about what it may mean was all for nothing then well we only had 1 table in all night so at least it passed the time!
Cheers!
