As opposed to FUCK ARSE, which does exactly what it says on the tin.įUCKATHON: Someone who is a fuckaholic, or who takes fucking around to the extremes, might take part in a fuckathon. Someone who fucked around sometimes came to be called a fuck-around and then, starting on the island of Fiji, the word was applied to anyone who happened to be hanging around in the streets, usually with criminal intentions.įUCKARSE: Someone who is a bit of a prat. Book editor's note: outside the pages of Erica Jong's novel Fear of Flying, a flying fuck is rarely a good thing.įUCKAHOLIC: An alcoholic is addicted to alcohol a workaholic never leaves the office a fuckaholic will fuck you even if you're an alcoholic and a workaholic, because they simply don't care where they put themselves.įUCK-AROUND: The phrase 'fuck around' probably doesn't need any explanation, unless you've just come out of a convent, in which case the book from which this is excerpted probably isn't the ideal place to start. Someone who is 'facefucked', however, is more likely in the twenty-first century to be 'off their face' having ingested something smaller, but probably more dangerous, in the way of drugs.įINGERFUCK: A social activity in which a finger-or more: adjust according to taste-becomes an explorer, if you like, of dark caverns.įLYING FUCKLAND: A more modern and less poetic way of saying 'Cloudcuckooland'-a place of fantasy that could surely not exist in real life. And so, by extension, it also applies to a situation that is extremely chaotic-but not actually that enjoyable.įACEFUCK: At the risk of turning this into a sexual guidebook, 'facefuck' is a way of describing oral sex, particularly fellatio and even more particularly if the person doing the sucking is lying on their back with an open mouth. Fine as a fantasy, but actually rather annoying in real life, believe me. On the basis that someone's sexual etiquette is probably a reflection of their wider character, the word can also be applied to a person who is unpleasant with clothes on or off.ĬLUSTERFUCK: A remarkably descriptive American term for a scene in which there are lots of people doing lots of unusual things with lots of other people, and none of them are wearing any undergarments. A 'bumfuck' can also be a 'bum fuck': that is, someone with whom it is not much fun to share a sleeping bag. When applied to a situation, a bumblefuck is one that was probably designed by a whole circus of bumblefucks, and thus should be avoided wherever possible.īUMFUCK: Forget the obvious definition, which is. So a 'bumblefuck' is a 'fucker' who is also an idiot: or an idiot, in other words. Now you know what it's called, you can make up your own examples.īUMBLEFUCK: 'Bumble' stands for 'bumbling idiot' 'fuck' stands for everything that it usually does. It's funny.ĪBSO-FUCKING-LUTELY: A prime example of what the linguists call 'infixation', in which one word insists on sitting right in the middle of another.
Even if you think the rules are unfair you have to _ _ _ them.Here are 69 different ways to say fuck, excerpted from F**k: An Irreverent History of the F-Word, by Rufus Lodge, a successful and critically acclaimed author who lives in London under another name.
