I originally thought FYPT was a simple Tag, however it seems to be more likely a Crew Tag, as it exists in several styles, often with the Tags ENDER, GOER and SLUG. I have seen it at several sites with large pieces - the Water Street parking lot, the Underpass, and at the old Halifax Infirmary site. The two FYPT pieces at the Infirmary are tagged ENDER and SLUG.
What does it mean - 2/3 suggest FUCK YOU PARTY TIME, a third says FILTHY YELLOW PIRATE TEETH - given the nature of those who graffiti, I suspect the former is more likely than the latter.
A Google search further links FYPT and SLUG, a Halifax Tagger, although some images of FYPT are seen from further afield - such as Barcelona, but seem focussed on the HRM area. The work below, sold at the Khyber, seems to confirm that it is a Halifax Crew Tag, of which SLUG is a member.
