Hmm, I figured this would have been answered a long time ago. Anyway, I stopped by a Synch Point/Furi Kuri panel at Fanime con this year. I don't remember exactly who was there, but some of the guest were from Gainax... ok, after some research, looks like:

Yamaga Hiroyuki - Co-Producer (Founder GAINAX)
Tsurumaki Kazuya - Director
Sadamoto Yoshiyuki - Character Designer
Sato Hiroki - script writer
Takeda Yasuhiro - Founder/General Manager GAINAX

Also present were English VA:
Kari Wahlgren - Haruko Haruhara
Jennifer Sekiguchi - Mamimi Samejima

I do remember them talking about what FLCL/FuriKuri meant. They said that it had no meaning. They wanted to have a cool title, and they though it would be cool to have something that could be an acronym (like K.O.R. for Kumagure Orange Road). They made up some 'acronym,' but did not base it off anything. It does not have any meaning beyond that..

Supposedly in mangas and hentai furi kuri is the written term to describe the sound of rubbing a womans breast. Literally it means breast tweaking.

Anime dazed Man, there's evidence to support both claims in FLCL itself. Naota's dad's always chanting "furi kuri" when he's in ultra-horny mode (manga form in Ep. 1 & 6) and I could definitely see him interested in doing some "tweaking" .
On the other hand, every time they go into manga form, the characters themselves ask what "furi kuri" means. Haruka even asks the question herself in a preview.

Has someone else seen "furi kuri" used in the way Anlushac11 mentioned?
Think Gainax would actually reply if I do ask them if it means anything?
