Essentially, when he was put on waivers, there was about a half dozen threads all started at the same time. Hence, a repeat thread started at the same time about some breaking news came to be known as a 'fata'.
Also, I'm pretty sure the swear filter was set at one point to change all swears to 'fata'. Which would be the reference for "Fataing Beer".
