Does anyone know what FAB means in Thunderbirds?

[Postdog]

nothing - it was just trendy to say at the time it was made.

[Postdog]

sorry, too fast - it was the word Fab that was trendy, and this was just a play on that.

Gerry Anderson's FAQ:

Perhaps the most frequently asked question by new THUNDERBIRDS fans, the definitive answer came from Sylvia Anderson herself during her promotional tour for her book YES, M'LADY. According to Sylvia, F.A.B. stands for...
...absolutely nothing.

It was something they made up on the spur of the moment during a writing session, Sylvia says, and it was never intended to stand for anything other than to spell out the letters of a popular British slang word--"fab"--during that era. Many people have attempted to find other meanings ("Filed, Actioned, Briefed", "Fine--Acknowledge Broadcast"), but it never meant anything other than "fabulous".
