Fecking (Feck)

An Irish expletive. It has all the benefits of 'fuck' but without the extreme sexual overtone. It can in fact mean nearly anything (including intercourse.)

Example: adjective
I kicked that fecking cat right in its fecking hole, fecking noise it made.

Example: adjective
I was in with the wife last night, fecking whore kept changing the fecking channel on the fecking fecking television. I was going fecking mad.

Example: noun
Come here t'me now yee little feck.

As you can see 'feck' is a hugely useful word. In far parts of the globe where the word 'fuck' may get you beheaded or brutally sodomized or somesuch, 'feck' will cause you no such trouble. In the lexicon of profanity 'feck' is a clear marker of a particular culture and a very particular place. If there be a better everyday expletive than 'feck' I've yet to hear it.

The word was used so prolifically that it almost died out as it was replaced by harder and harsher words in the awful eighties and 'cool' 90's.
