View Full Version : Origin of feck?
I've heard everyone use it. When did it start lol
"
Slang expletive employed as an attenuated alternative (minced oath) to fuck to express disbelief, pain, anger, or contempt in a given situation. However, it does not mean to have sex with in the same way that fuck does, and those aware of this use consider it a lesser expletive than fuck.

“Feck” means “fuck” no matter what anyone says. It is also pronounced “fack” and it has other variations.

In his 1881 short story Thrawn Janet, Robert Louis Stevenson invokes the second sense of feck as cited above:
"He had a feck o' books wi' him—mair than had ever been seen before in a' that presbytery..."
Robert Burns uses the third sense of feck in the final stanza of his 1792 poem "Kellyburn Braes":
I hae been a Devil the feck o' my life,
Hey, and the rue grows bonie wi' thyme;
"But ne'er was in hell till I met wi' a wife,"
And the thyme it is wither'd, and rue is in prime
So has been around since 1792
Would have thought that feck is the more polite version of fuck that. Maybe not:dunno:

This a Scottish meaning that is a completely different meaning from the Irish one.
Feck is a Scottish variant of effect, as in personal effects or belongings.

“Feck” means “fuck”.
There are a lot of milder forms of swear words about and some of them are not obvious.
“Jerk” or “berk” seems mild enough but it is really cockney rhyming slang for “Berkley Hunt” . And we all know what “hunt” rhymes with. :D
“Clot” as in “stupid clot” also seems mild and English upper class but it is an abbreviation for several Germanic and Eastern European words that also rhyme with “hunt” in English.
And when calling someone a “pillock” it should be known that this is an old English word meaning “penis”. A “plonker” is also a penis.
“Strewth” is short for “God’s strength”.
“Blimey”, or “cor blimey” is “God blind me”.
“Crikey” means “Christ”.
“Bejabbers” means “shit”.
“Prat” means an “arse”.
Even some old words often quoted in films by knights and pirates are not so innocent.
“Gazooks” means “God’s hooks” or “God’s nails”.
“Zounds” is “God’s wounds”.
“Odsblood” is “God’s blood”.
