“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” as the proverb goes, or as Kinky Friedman rephrased it, “Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.” Case in point: the Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) Corsair II light-attack aircraft of the Cold War era. Its affectionate nickname was “SLUF,” which stood for “Short Little Ugly Fellow” in polite company but in reality stood for “Short Little Ugly F*ck*r” (analogous to how the B-52 Stratofortress was nicknamed the “BUFF” as in “Big Ugly Fat Fellow/F*ck*r”).
