Explanation of this popular t-shirt equation

Happened to pass someone wearing a t-shirt today with the logo:

F/C^2(sqrt(-1))PV/nR

Could you explain to me what this means?

Thank you

Are you SURE the first letter isn't 'E'.

That would be my guess as well.
Did it look like this?
$$\frac{E}{c^2} \sqrt{-1} \frac{PV}{nR}$$

If @insightful and I are on the right track, adding some parentheses might be helpful.
$$\left(E/c^2\right) \left( \sqrt{-1}\right) \left( \frac{PV}{nR}\right)$$

Hint: the sweatshirt identifies an institute of higher learning.

No parentheses, though.

Apparently the makers of the t-shirt didn't actually go to MIT. If they had, they wouldn't call it the "MIT Equation T-shirt".

A dead giveaway for an equation is the presence of "=" somewhere amongst the symbols.

Yes, MIT does go to outside sources for some of these things.
