Fuck For My Generation

While some believe that the word “fuck” was used for the first time in the 1475 poem “Flen Flyys” and others are under the impression that the word stems from the 13th century tradition of deflowering brides-to-be, I am confident that I know the 21st century etymology.

Before I continue, let us first consider some of the many uses of the word:
1. the dictionary gives the following definition: “to have sexual intercourse with.” However, “fucking” is clearly different from “love-making” in the sense that it is inherently more feral and significantly less intimate. For example, people can be “fuck-buddies” but never “love-make-buddies” or even “have sex buddies.” Also, those that engage in promiscuous sex are said to “fuck around,” not “love-make around.”
2. the word can also mean “to take advantage of, betray, cheat, or victimize,” as in, “to fuck over.”
3. the word can mean “to act stupidly or carelessly,” as in, “to fuck up.”
4. finally, the exclamation “Fuck!” is often used when individuals do something that they sooner or later come to regret.

With these points in mind, I have come to the conclusion that for my generation, FUCK really stands for:
Frat-boys
Understand the
Cogency of
Kamikaze shots

This acronym is supposed to symbolize the all-too-typical scenario of frat boy meets girl (at a bar), gets girl drunk (with overly sweet alcoholic beverage), frat boy “fucks” girl, at least one of them regrets it in the morning.

Let me clarify this based on the four aforementioned uses of the word “fuck.”
1. they “fuck.” They don’t have sex and they certainly do not make love. By phrasing it this way, the act is inherently less meaningful.
2. even the dictionary acknowledges that “fucking” can entail taking advantage of someone… in this case, the drunk girl.
3. let’s face it, to some degree, one or both parties in the scenario “fucked up” (right after they got fucked up).
4. at some point, one or both parties may regret the act

This updated meaning of the term “fuck” manages to include all of its relevant points in a way that everyone in my generation can understand. Plus it partially explains why Group Therapy at Dunbar’s is so popular.


(The term “frat-boys” was used only because it starts with an F. This explanation can be applied to anyone, male or female, Greek or not. I have nothing against frat-boys… I am one).
