I MUST put in my 2 cents now! My original surname was Fink (along with a great many others who have that surname). One of the reasons I changed my name was because of comments like these. I realize that Fink became a pejorative because someone of that nmae crossed a union picket line, but please have some considerations for the real Finks out there and assign a diffrent pejorative to the king!
@Arye Uygur – You’re out of luck, and don’t blame the folks here. Johnny Hart himself made the appellation back in 1969. http://www.amazon.com/King-Fink-Johnny-Hart/dp/0449132552And, “fink” is part of the language. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fink?show=0&t=1307065724Changing your name is your best bet. (Arye Uygur is most unlikely to become a pejorative. )

Rocks are something the Fink will never run out of – as long as he’s in power.

No, all the pieces are there – count carefully. The Queen looks like a rather large Bishop, though.

Where is the Fink going to find someone as brilliant as him to play? Wiz? Spook? Rodney’s noble steed, either end?

If the King needs to raise funds, all he has to do is auction off the chess set to the Huns.

By the way, I have friends with the surname Fink. Very intelligent, caring, giving people. Very much not “finks” at all.
