David Cameron definitely doesn't know what FFS stands for

LONDON -- David Cameron doesn't have a great track record when it comes to the modern English language.

There was that time he accused Ed Balls of "masosadism", the time he spoke of the General Election as "career-defining" instead of "country-defining", and even the deeply disturbing occasion when he attempted to slip the word "chillax" into a sentence.

Now he's on to abbreviations.

During Wednesday's Prime Minister's Questions, Cameron attempted to make a fiscal autonomy-themed pun, but it all just ended up being a bit confusing. "The SNP don't actually dare talk about which powers that they're being given they would like to use," he said to the SNP's Angus Robertson. "Full fiscal autonomy has now become FFS - full fiscal shambles."

Was it a joke that fell a bit flat, or does he actually just not know what FFS stands for? Judging by his track record we'd guess the latter, but we'll probably never know.
