phat/fat, phuque&suque

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

Dennis knows me well enough to know that I adore foreignness and (when it
comes to alternative spellings) worship at the feat of pretentiousness. I
have seen (and delighted in) both PHUQUE and SUQUE--in cartoons, where the
nonce spellings were intended to convey the pretentiousness of the utterers.

And as for FAT/PHAT--close to the kind example of what I was trying to find.
And along similar lines, NOW I also recall that there were attempts (not very
successful) at breaking GEY 'homosexual' away from GAY 'merry; decadent'.

connotations, but there are huge differences between "phat" and "fat" and
many other hip-hop (and other youth culture words). See the forthcoming
Journal of Sociolinguistics for a number of articles which focus on the use
of spelling to establish social position and/or identity >>
