What’s the Deal with FHRITP and How Did It Get Someone Fired?
So, here’s the scoop. There’s this ridiculous phrase, FHRITP, that’s been making the rounds, originally popping up in some viral videos featuring a guy named Fred yelling it at fake reporters. It took off on Reddit and became a meme, with people sharing their own “funny” takes on it. But the joke took a nasty turn when a female reporter, let’s call her Jessica Green, confronted a group of hecklers during a live broadcast in front of a stadium in Toronto. Instead of just brushing off their crude comments, Jessica called them out right then and there.
“Wait, are you guys really trying to shout that at me on live TV? You think that’s funny?” she asked, clearly unimpressed. The guys, thinking they were hilarious, doubled down, showing a complete lack of awareness about how degrading their behavior was not just to her but to women everywhere. One guy, who we’ll say was wearing a bright yellow jersey and later identified as Mike Thompson, even suggested that it was a common occurrence in England. Seriously?
When Jessica pressed him about how his mother would feel about his actions, he just shrugged it off, saying she’d “eventually laugh about it.” But guess who wasn’t laughing? Mike’s boss. He worked for a big energy company, let’s say it was called PowerCorp, and after the incident went viral, they fired him for violating their Code of Conduct. Employment lawyers backed that decision, too.
Jessica mentioned that after enduring constant harassment, she finally stood up for herself. Other female reporters joined in, saying they’ve faced the same awful phrase daily. This public shaming of the hecklers sparked a lively debate online. Some people questioned whether it was fair to publicly call out these guys, while others wondered if it was a case of overreach.
The real question is how we got to a point where grown men genuinely don’t see the problem with shouting vulgarities at women. This phrase isn’t just a soccer fan thing; kids have also faced consequences at school for repeating it. With this whole situation now in the spotlight, hopefully, FHRITP will fade away for good.
