This morning's ARFOR for area 30 had: "VISBILITY- 500M FG, Smoke"
So why is for FOG given in code and smoke in plain English?
Probably because the met guys have been reading pprune and rather than use FU and suffer a wave of phone calls asking what FU means they thought what the hell, add three letters and be done with it.
