Social media users are all over the Obamacare phone number after it was pointed out the official hotline nearly spelled out a swear.

The official national hotline Health and Human Services advertises for healthcare help is 1-800-318-2596.

On a dialpad, the number spells out 1-800-F1U-CKYO.

The discovery spawned the #ObamacarePhoneNumbers trend on Twitter with critics of the Affordable Care Act taking aim and the law.

Proposed numbers include 1-800-404-FAIL, 1-800-HOT MESS and 1-800-SOY-LENT ext. Green.

Disgruntled worker? Or accident?

Doesn't matter, probably fired either way.

Buzzfeed has this in .gif form, too!

It's not only a "thing", it's one hell of a stretch.

It's not a swear, it's a suggestion.

There's 3 letters per number, so it also spells out like a thousand other nonsense phrases, right?

But those don't spell F1uckyo so they don't count.

Which begs the question of who is sitting around trying to spell obscenities out off the ACA's help line number and, for God's sake, why?

A tea party supporter on furlough? It's not like they've got much better to do.
