What kind of “fuckery” is this?
Tags: Healthcare · Insurance
Ever wondered what 'fuckery' actually means and where it came from? I trace its journey from a late 19th century brothel sense to an early 1900s sexual use, then to the figurative bullshit of the 1970s. Expect examples from Kevin Barry, Fernanda Melchor, E.L. James and Amy Winehouse and notes from OED, Green's Dictionary and The F-Word on Jamaican English and usage.
Rolly's Take
For the curious soul who revels in the rich tapestry of language, tracing the roots of words like a hidden map of culture and context. They delight in the nuances of expression, finding beauty in the chaos of slang and its evolution, while questioning the absurdities that life throws their way. Here, the exploration of "fuckery" becomes a lens through which to reflect on the complexities of human experience — raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.
