COMMENT OF THE DAY RUNNER-UP: THAT WORD HAS ALWAYS BUGGED ME, THOUGH “Fur-down comes from furring which is a construction term adopted from clothing. I think. But I’m not an entomologist.” [Jeromy Murphy, commenting on Comment of the Day: How They Covered Up the Garage Door Mechanism in the Exercise and Taxidermy Room]

I think it’s Fer Down as in “How Fer Down do you want it from the ceiling?”
I bet you’re not an etymologist either. Entomology is the study of insects; etymology the study of words.
Gus, “bugged me” is your best caption. Ever.
He said that WORD has always BUGGED him. I suspect he may be both.
Oh me, oh my!
I see a lot of fur down for the sake of fur down. I tell my guys “fur down = take down”.
@wordpolice: That’s the joke, dude.
