True ones please.
Samuel Goldwyn of Metro Goldwyn Mayer films is offically named Samuel Goldfish.
When he emigrated to the US from Poland, his actual name was Schmuel Goldfisz. The immigration officail misheard it as Samuel Goldfish which he remained for some years.

Gay blokes would refer to straight blokes as naff. From the acronym Not Available For Fcuking. And then it became general Polari slang for anything of no use or a bit rubbish.

The one that’s recently blown my mind from watching the new Adam Curtis series Shifty is Buck’s Fizz’s saccharine throw away No.1, naff, pop hit from the early 80s ‘Land of Make Believe’ is actually a polemic ode to Anti-Thatcherism

So, "a polemic ode to Anti-Thatcherism" was it?

Don't tell me, the 'Birdie Song' was a protest against worldwide species extinction, and 'Lily The Pink' was a hymn in praise of the contribution made by women in Soviet Russia towards the struggle for a worldwide Communist utopia.

Aye, right.

I've read in the past that naf comes from the army. Where it would be chalked on equipment to be chucked out: No Apparent Function.

Both explanations - and others - are here:

Both could have some truth.

One may have lead to the other...

Volvo invented the 3 point safety belt but left the patent open so other vehicle manufacturers could use it for free in the greater interest of public safety.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean we're not all against you.
