HOT TOPIC: Is ‘Laffy’ Acceptable Shorthand For Lafayette?
Of all the arguments we have seen play out on social media, this one may be the strangest. Is "Laffy" and acceptable shorthand for Lafayette? It appears to have started with a poll by the popular Facebook group, Lafayette Memories.

In the last 48 hours, people I didn't even know had Facebook have come out swinging for one side of the other. And commenters are not on the fence about this. They are either for or against. So is the silent majority just indifferent like me?
This morning on KPEL, we broke down the issue.
