I don't remember the last time I got such a chuckle out of a domain name, but this one is great.

  Does Google treat .af (Afghanistan) as an international domain though? Not sure if they take the TLD into account much anymore when determining the regional focus of a page, I know some TLDs like .io and .ai are treated as non-regional, not sure about .af though. Problably not a large problem though, just haven't seen many .af product sites so far (really great, short domain name otherwise).

    Good question, no idea. The main domain is primo.so, so I think at the very least that should be safe.

I don't get the joke, can you explain it ?

  .af can be expanded to "as fuck" - primo as fuck
  - lproven 6y ago
    Yes, I understood that, but to this native English speaker, the expanded phrase is meaningless.

  AF is short for “as fuck,” e.g., “that movie was funny AF” means it was really funny. Primo AF.
  - elcomet 6y ago
    That's the part I understood, but what does primo mean?
    - 1123581321 6y ago
      It colloquially means #1 or the best in the US. “Tesla is the primo electric car brand right now.”

      In Italian "primo" means "first", I guess in English it has a similar meaning as well?
      - lproven 6y ago
        Er, no. In English, it does not mean anything at all. "Prime" is the analagous English word, I would think, and it is not a superlative. One would not say "that's prime" of something good, impressive, whatever. "Prime" means: ready; in the thing's initial state; available for immediate use. It also has a meaning in maths, but that's not really relevant.

        "Primo" is US slang for first-rate: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/primo https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/primo

I don't care for it. But might not be target audience.

I am actually curious how they got that TLD. When I try it on namecheap, it says Unsupported TLD: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=thisisatest.af https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?doma...

  iwantmyname.com sells them
  - abiogenesis 6y ago
    More than $130? Gandi.net sells them for about $47.

    .af doesn't show up in their list of whois privacy supported domains unfortunately.
