In 2004, group of elite QF FF program members used the (then available) Platinum "anytime access" to retain use of a (then complimentary) Qantas meeting room in the Brisbane Qantas Club for a social event. They sampled liquid refreshments (possibly HPs) in a QP (Qantas Pub, err, Club) and decided that each status level within the program required a little embellishment. Hence:
Platinum status = W@nker Platinum (WP)
Gold status = Scum Gold (SG)
Silver status = Plebian Silver (PS)
Bronze status = Nothing Bronze (NB)
And Qantas Club became Qantas Pub (QP)
