AIBU to think Feck is not a bad word.

[Smellslikecatspee]

Said ahh Feck it at work today and got cats bum mouth from one of my colleagues.

To me Feck is not a bad word, my Ma says it for Feck sake. . .

AIBU, is it a bad word??

YABU. Changing just the one letter doesn't really change the word - everyone knows what it's a euphemism for.

probably wouldn't say it around kids tbf, but I can think of many a hell of a lot worse. Sooo I supose I'm not sure if you are or are not BU. Where do you work, that could make a difference? Deff wouldnt say it in a shop, school or church...

It's fuck with an accent.

...but I can think of many a hell of a lot worse...

I can't, other than 'cunt'.

YABU - It's just fuck in a different dialect, isn't it???!!!

(I keep saying it after I read a Marian Keyes novel! )

Well my family are Irish and feck means fuck...so yes to them it's a bad word.

Posted too soon.

It has many meanings!

It kind of depends where you work. I work in a very sweary environment, so 'feck' would seem like nothing in my job.

But I wouldn't say it to a class of 5 year-olds or if I was the tannoy announcer at Heathrow airport, for example.

As a teenager (Aussie) I used to say 'Frig' as it didn't seem as bad as 'fuck'. But I knew it bloody well was .

It's not the equivalent of fuck. In Ireland it's about the mildest expletive you can get.

To be honest, I think the Priest in Father Ted kind of upped it to level fuck

Worra Those gobshites? I'm not surprised

Yes, We shall blame Father Jack for putting an edge on the word feck. :o

I would put it on par with saying "sugar" instead of "shit" etc.

Oh and Mrs Brown's Boys...I miss that!

Haven't seen you around lately Maryz, how's things?

But it's not Fuck in a different accent.

Is it Maryz?

It different, I was always told it was the English translation of Ah go bHfuil or something. . Properly from Peig.

I mean you wouldn't say I'm off for a good feck with the OH.

I agree with Maryz.

I always use it and think of it as shortened "flippin' 'eck"

I wouldn't say I was off for a good fuck with DH either!

Who would you be informing? :o

Well you never can be too careful nowadays Maryz

One wrong click and you might have found yourself in the middle of her facebook wall saying things like "true dat m8" and lusting over Justin Beiber

I once watched absolutely fabulous in the US with all the swearing, references to drugs, excessive drinking and sex bleeped out.

Didn't make a bit of sence or humour. .
