I read somewhere a long time ago...what the 4F means...

something about the 4 F's of survival? But all the words were in German?

Am I crazy?

can anyone point me to some links about this 4F as a symbol, but not relating to the band?

    Jawbreaker appropriated this German monogram for use on their early releases up to and including Bivouac.
    The 4 Fs stand for the motto "Frisch, Fromm, Fröhlich, Frei" ("Hardy, God-fearing, Cheerful, Free").
    Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, the founder of modern gymnastics, popularized it in the early nineteenth century.
