do not open without your mother's permission

[George Thompson]

My wife teaches in the English Dept. of a high school near Coney Island.  Last week a young female teacher informed her colleagues, including my wife, that she had attended a "Fuckerware" party over the weekend.  My wife, not wanting to expose herself as an old codgerette from an era and a region where they didn't have Fuckerware parties, did not press for details, so I don't know whether the party was to demonstrate and sell erotic clothing or dildos and suchlike or what.  If there is interest, I will ask her to inquire.  But the term is new to me.
