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??

Who would you be informing?

The mind boggles

Well I would say it exactly, maybe be I showed have used you wouldn't say hey darling fancy a good Feck [wink, wink]

I didn't realise it meant to 'throw or steal'

That's just made sense of something my mate's mum said to me about 30 years ago Lol!

She was telling us about two men fighting in the High St and she said "One fecked the other over the wall"

My mate and I just burst into childish giggles!

I am having a very bad typing/spelling day. . .

Are you in the south Maryz?

I'm from Belfast and my SIL is from Dublin. She was appalled that people call each other "Tramps" in jest up here. Apparently it's really offensive in the south.

Is it?

Doesn't 'shift' mean snog too?

:o @ At "Meet" and "Shift".

In Belfast it's "Here love my mate says will you "see" him"

I'd actually typed "Doesn't shit mean snog too?"...but spotted the typo in time

I can just imagine a lurker going on holiday and asking a hunky looking guy for a shit.....

I use feck as in "will you feck that in the laundry basket" etc.

I use feck on MN a lot but wouldn't use it talking to people I actually know .

Maybe if she was going on holiday to Germany Worra. (Joke! I love Germany!)

I use the word feck all the time with DH, but never in front of the DCs. Or my parents. Or my 82 year old good friend. To me, it's as mild as "shit", but not as bad as "fuck". It's actually my favourite swear word, (yes, I do have a Top Ten) so Smells, thanks for starting this thread!

I remember reading 'just 17' back in the day and a poor Irish girl had written in to the problem page asking what her boyfriend meant by wanting a 'shift'.....

She was given graphic instruction on how to give him a wank

The lad must have died of shock

I still remember the phrase that used to warm the cockles of every teenage girls heart "fancy a lumber?"

WIGGLE! Lumber :o

I currently feel like a 12 year old.

I love the word feck.
I'ts just a rather Irish and charming alternative to fuck.
As I said on the other thread, I love Father Ted, where it was used in abundance.
You all know it's utterly harmless don't you g'wan. g'wan g'wan, you do don't you.
And you'll all have a cup of tea, you will, wont you?

I know, poor girl didn't know how to song and that's what they tell her

I grew up thinking all English girls were 'loose' cause of those mags

Song

Snog

Showing my age- it was a shift in my day too, though we also used to talk about getting off w someone. For some reason i think we thought a shift was more of a country thing to say (yes, jackeen here)- I think I first heard of someone shifting someone at Irish college in the West. V amused by the boy who benefitted from Just 17's "wisdom"!

Feck is totally not a curse. English people seem to think it is because it's a bit like fuck, but then again so is duck, so that's just silly. I think it's about as bad as damn, though I dont use it much these days- living in the uk means it just leads to unnecessary conversations along the lines of "no, it's not a bad word. No, it doesn't mean fuck...." etc.

I wonder if snog means the same as lumber.

A lumber is a french kiss, no tongue with raid opening and closing of the mouth. Oh and lot's of spit.

Eww :o
