2. What do KFC haters think KFC means?

Kid Fattening Clinic

Those deriding Kentucky Fried Chicken may pretend KFC instead stands for "Kid Fattening Clinic." People who use this version of KFC think (rightly) that eating too much fried chicken isn't good for you, and is likely to make you fat.

You're most likely to see KFC used this way in forum and social media posts, in which users are judging others for eating (or letting their children eat) at KFC too often. Those who know they eat too much KFC may also say it stands for Kid Fattening Clinic, as a sheepish admission that they should try to eat healthier.

Example

I can't believe you let your kids eat at the Kid Fattening Clinic so often
Eh, a little KFC never hurt anyone
But a lot of KFC has

A child who has been to the local KFC
