<br>Subject: cod fax
<br>
<br>Here's a response from one of my former colleagues in Britain:
<br>
<br>I've been trying to figure out cod as well for some time. I think the 'cod
<br>fax' was a bit of a red herring (while on the subject of fish!). In fact
<br>I'm
<br>not sure what cod fax means, but it was, famously I think, the way Phil
<br>Collins dumped his wife(?). Could be totally wrong about that. I've seen it
<br>since in the sense of fake/phoney - eg, 'cod economics'.
