  1. If'n

    If'n is the second album by the American alternative rock band Firehose, released in 1987. The sound on the album is less incendiary than Ragin', Full On, moving away from the harder-edged Minutemen style to a mellower, funk-driven, humorous, "good-time rock'n'roll" direction. The songs are also more stylistically consistent - where the previous album had material from various sources, If'n is more centered on Mike Watt's writing, showing a band that has gelled and found its own identity apart from Watt and Hurley's previous band Minutemen. Many of the songs remained audience favorites for years to come. The album includes the group's first "heavy" song, "Thunder Child". The album name is a reference to an episode of the television show Bewitched, which has a song called "If'n". The left side of the album cover has a picture of Hüsker Dü, Minutemen's former colleagues at SST Records.

    To add to the Editor’s Contribution, if’n is not just the word of, but a contraction of if and when, or more correctly, “if, then when.”

    An appropriate example would be turning “If I ever become a doctor, then when I do, you’ll be my first patient” into “If’n I become a doctor, you’ll be my first patient.”

    It is fairly informal and “if/when” (similar to and/or) has an identical meaning
