I have to admit, I was kind of amused by bof fri fleu myself.

His face is oddly uneven as well.

has anyone else noticed that the tune for that is disturbingly chipper?

There's a bof fri fleu tune?!

Kinda. There's a TV commercial campaign to go along with the print ad campaign you've probably seen on the Red Line.

I have not ridden the subway or watched TV in ages, so to me this is an entirely Internet phenomenon.

It's like Boston's very own AYBABTU.

I first saw in in Spatch's LJ (click the image). And Googling it leads to the discovery that Boston-area yoots have already adopted the phrase for MySpace usernames and so on.

I've never seen it on the Internet either: I knew it from TV, then saw the T ads last week for the first time.

on the tv ad for recognizing stroke signs, the whole thing is sung in a jaunty little ditty and "bof fri fleu" comes out of a woman's mouth in a speech bubble.

here's an extended version of the TV commercial:
