Etymology of the word 'Feck'

[Dexter Sinister]

There's a perfectly ordinary word in English, feckless, which means irresponsible or thoughtless. Clearly it also means without feck, analogous to worthless meaning without worth, useless meaning without use, and so forth. To have feck, therefore, would be to be responsible or thoughtful.

There should also therefore be words fecky, analogous to worthy, and feckful, analogous to useful. And perhaps a fecker, analogous to user.

I think I could twist this around enough so that "feck you, you fecking fecker" could be considered a nice compliment.

Feckin' A, sounds like a plan to me. Think I'll feckin' have a feckin' beer or two too, for feck's sake, since I'm feeling feckless...

As soon as I finish this feckin' beer I have to get out the feckin' saw and rip some feckin 2x4s.

 

[zenfisher]

...feckin' wood ?

 

[Vanni Fucci]

Feckin' rights, feckin' wood...what the feck is the matter with that?

 

[zenfisher]

If Feckin' Farley fecked a fathom of feckin' wood
how many fathoms of feckin' wood did Feckin' Farley feck?

As many feckin' fathoms of feckin' wood as Feckin' Farley could feck,
If Feckin' Farley could feck wood.

But anybody who fecks wood has some serious issues.

This is getting way the feck out of feckin' control...

 

[peapod]

Yes it is...give us a new word bigh :? :? :?

Right fecking now to...

If I may submit one for your perusal? I suggest merely changing the first letter of the awful word to PH,as in phuck Or use my fave swearwords "farging iceholes" :lol:

 

[zenfisher]

Phinally!!! Someone phigures we should pheckin' change our phavourite pheckin' phrase to pheck. Pheckin eh !!!

allrighty then you phecking phecker, I'll let you away with that...but a nice compliment is opposed to a heroic or mean compliment? Pheck, will ya look at that?...i believes I phecking won!

 

[Dexter Sinister]

?...i believes I phecking won!

No feckin' way man, there are degrees and kinds of compliments, as there are of many things. I could say of one of my neighbours, for instance, that she's very attractive or that she has fabulous feckin' hooters. Both are compliments (and true statements), but you'd have to agree that the first one is a lot nicer.
