When people see this bright red CATFU Patch, they may look very confused. What the heck is CATFU? Is it a type of kung-fu for cats? Maybe that patch is misspelled? CATFU is an acronym that stands for Completely And Totally Fucked Up, a phrase that can apply to a lot of things! If you find yourself dealing with situations that are CATFU, you might think about slapping one of these patches on your jacket or vest. You'll find it in the Vulgar Patches category.
There are a lot of times you can say something is CATFU. If your bike breaks down and it looks like repairing it isn't possible, when a ride goes completely off schedule, or when your bike club just can't agree on something. Just point to this patch, shake your head, and try to deal with it. People who understand the acronym are sure to agree. If someone doesn't get it, ask them what they think it means. Their response might at least give you a laugh in the midst of a bad situation.
The CATFU patch measures 3.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches high. The lettering is in red instead of the usual white, so it really stands out. I think the red adds a bit of urgency to the saying, like you're in red alert mode because the situation is incredibly fucked up.
