From Steve Carter on Facebook today, a pointer to Phở King Way, a Vietnamese restaurant in Gateway Shopping Center, Mission Viejo CA (in Orange County):
The restaurant; its name is a pun on fucking way, as in no fucking way!
Extracted and abbreviated entry from GDoS:
excl. no way!: (orig. US) in no way whatsoever! absolutely not! [1st cite 1970]
The exclamation is then expanded with the emphatic modifier fucking (They’re fucking crazy, etc.): no fucking way!
Previously on this fucking blog:
— in my 4/5/11 posting “Go pho it”, puns on the name of the Vietnamese soup, including the restaurant names What the Pho (Bothell WA) and Pho King (San Dego CA and Oakland CA)
— in my 3/7/12 posting “pho x 4”, more on restaurant names, including What the Pho and Pho King
