Some how, I read : "I'm quite happy it didn't keep going, though not for lack of _f_rying."

Besides, what's the bathing suit name reference ? I don't get it.

The bikini swimsuit was named after the Bikini Atoll. A bit of a mixup from OP though: it wasn’t named after fusion bombs. The bikini swimsuit was announced a few days after the first public fission bomb test there (Crossroads Able) in 1946. The first fusion bomb test there (Castle Bravo) wasn’t until 1954.
