[edit] WinCoFo is a toilet

My brother, who is a Wykehamist, tells me that 'fo' means toilet, from the Latin 'foricas', and 'Wincofo' is the toilet in Flint Court (although it is normally called 'cofo'). For this reason I have removed the words "or WinCoFo", as in "also known as Winkies or WinCoFo". J Alexander D Atkins 14:43, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

In five years at Winchester College, I have never heard WinCoFo used in any context except as an abbreviation for Winchester College Football. The toilet in Flint court is called "Commoner Foricas" and is usually shortened to "Commoner Fo." As there is no 'Win' in "Commoner Foricas", I very much doubt that WinCoFo could refer to it.

Methinks your brother was winding you up, Alex. WinCoFo is an abbreviation for Winchester College Football and nothing else. Holmoak 11:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] South Africa

Are you sure all this about South Africa was not derived from that spoof Trusty Sweater that came out around 2001-2, containing the obituary of an imaginary Foreign Office official who caused inter-tribal warfare by trying to teach Win Co Fo to the natives? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 12:57, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
