Only kind of funny

[FatJackSprat]

I didn't laugh out loud or anything, but I Googled "Morrison & Foerster" and didn't expect to see that domain name.

Do you think they missed it or that they are laughing to themselves?

[aplefka]

I don't get what's so funny.

[AgaBoogaBoo]

lol, that's a funny domain name

 

[FatJackSprat]

I'm a lawyer, it's a law firm and I was searching for info.

I thought it was more common, but "mofo" is short for "mother f**k*r"

I was just surprised and kind of wondered it their tech guys are laughing at them.

That would have been some pertinent information for the OP.

It's still not that funny.

Nickname

The official firm nickname, approved in 1973, is MoFo, which is also commonly used as an abbreviation/euphemism for motherfucker. As of February 28, 2005, however, the firm has returned to the more conservative Morrison & Foerster, although MoFo is still used as the firm's url: mofo.com.

During the dot-com era of the 1990s, when it was fashionable for American companies to appear irreverent, the nickname was prominently featured in the firm's advertising, both online and offline. It gained further notoriety through a bit by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show [1]. Leno joked that the firm's clients could shout, "Get me my MoFo lawyer!"

Additionally, the popular home game Trivial Pursuit has a question and answer circulating in current versions asking which international law firm is commonly known by the four-letter phrase "MoFo". The answer, of course, is Morrison & Foerster.
