I read the archives to make sure nobody already posted this.

"-fu" has a entry in the jargon file:

http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/f/-fu.html

-fu     [common; generalized from `kung-fu'] Combining form denoting 
expert practice of a skill. "That's going to take some serious code-fu." 
First sighted in connection with the GIMP's remote-scripting facility, 
script-fu, in 1998.
