Yes, that is correct.  The acronym was coined by Mr. Harry Bissell,  
probably about five years ago, during discussions where we were all  
lamenting the gradual disappearance on the market of any and all  
useful analog IC's.  It appears that IC manufacturers no longer had  
much interest in producing anything that could not be sold in  
quantities of one billion or more to makers of, um, Gosh-Danged Cell  
Phones.  That coupled with a healthy disdain for the stereotypical  
modern idiots who walk around with cell phones permanently planted in  
their ears (and your face), carrying on their pointless conversations  
in full public view, or while (just barely) driving their cars down  
the road, triggered the "F" part of "FCPs".

I think Harry's term, FCP, is really great because it makes them  
sound like some kind of highly toxic substance that (if George Bush  
and his gang of hell-bent super-villains weren't in office) the EPA  
would be trying to forever banish from our environment.  There's  
probably something in the Kyoto Treaty about FCPs, or there should  
be.  If we all try really hard, maybe we can get the rest of the  
world to adopt the term.  I mean, that kind of grass-roots effort  
worked for the word "Santorum", didn't it?
