>I always wonder what bfstplk could mean and if it's a big secret don't tell.

yes, probably.

>I always read it as beef steak plank which must be totally wrong.

I remember how to misspell it by thinking beef steak polka! Al Capp himself supposedly described it as his version of a “Bronx cheer.”

edit: not an uncommon misspelling
bfstplk - 1270 ghits (the button is notably misleading!)
btfsplk - 867 ghits
