a silly question?

I am not good with the "initial thing" - (ex: RM is red mosquito, etc.). That said, was listening to my daily dose of Pearl Jam & heard MFC. What does that stand for? I'm sure it's a no brainer, but I don't get it. I know what WMA stands for, but never quite got MFC.

Anyone?

    No, no, no, you guys are totally wrong. It stands for Matt Fucking Cameron.

    Mini Fast Car is correct.

    I remember reading somewhere that Ed was in Italy and he noticed that all the people had real small but fast cars. I guess that inspired him to write another song about driving away.

    I agree with Matty!
    In several live bootlegs, Ed says that MFC stands for Matt Fuckin Cameron....never heard any stuff about Mini Fast Cars....that is too funny and would not seem to fit Eddie's style singing about a mini cooper with a turbo charger LOL! Thanks for a good laugh for the night!
