FILLES A PAPA has made an unintentional joke with the FAP island swimsuit. If you’re familiar with the term, then you’re undoubtedly already snickering like a naughty schoolgirl. For those who are a little behind on the Internet lingo, “fap” is a moniker that refers to the five finger shuffle, if you catch my drift.
Of course, I doubt the sophisticated French retailer had any idea when they emblazoned this one-piece swimsuit with the phrase “FAP island,” clearly intending it to be an abbreviation of their name.
While I don’t think that FAP island exists, I imagine it to be a sunny Isle filled with toned, tanned, good-looking people unafraid to show a little self-love.
