If someone replied to a topic with *FapFapFap*, would you know what it referenced?

[Idle Thoughts]

Yet another "How well known/wide spread is this lingo" thread.

Without reading the replies, if you saw someone in a thread going *Fap Fap Fap Fap Fap*, would you understand what it meant?

It's supposed to be the sound of a male masturbating.

For girls, I've heard it's supposed to be *Shik Shik Shik Shik*

[MichaelEmouse]

Yes, the first time I read it was in SexyLosers about a decade ago.

Looking at the comic right now (Mike's Left Hand, Family Ties), I see the proper female term is "shlick shlick shlick".

[BTEzra04]

Yes, I would know. I think I first ran across it a year or so ago.

[PandaBear77]

Yes I'd know.

[IvoryTowerDenizen]

Yes, and it always makes me go 'ick'.

[Asimovian]

Yeah, I think I first ran across that on Fark many years ago.

[MichaelEmouse]

Yes, and it always makes me go 'ick'.

No, that's "shlick".

[Dervorin]

There's a school in Bangalore, where I'm from, called Frank Anthony Public School. Commonly known as FAPS, of course. I giggled a lot the first time I heard that acronym, but I was the only person who did, I'm ashamed to say.

Funnier if you think of it as FAP school.

[Springtime for Spacers]

It's even a word in the SOWPODS scrabble dictionary.

But not in Words With Friends.

They're not that kind of friends.

[Loucks]

I first saw it on The Thin H Line, which I belive was renamed to SexyLosers. If I saw someone using that to reply to a topic I would now what it meant immediately: That the poster is immature and uncreative.

[not what you'd expect]

I learned it here and it usually makes me think yuk, but once in a great while, in the right place, it will make me chuckle.

[Eliahna]

I've understood it for a very long time - long enough that I can't even remember when or where I learnt it. I had never encountered the feminine form before this thread... thanks for that.

[Larry Mudd]

How could you ask this question on the internet?

[JKellyMap]

News to me. I thought it sounded vaguely slap-somebody-on-the-face-with-a-fish-because-they-said-something-dumb-ish, but consider my ignorance fought.

Okay, now how about "fwap"?

[Patty O'Furniture]

No idea. It sounds like when a film has finished rewinding and the end piece of it is fapping around the take-up reel.

[Biggirl]

Yeup. Ran across it at an adult webcomic Sexy Losers many, many years ago.

A porn movie?

[Patty O'Furniture]

As much as I try, I can't imagine masturbation making that kind of sound unless the guy has a big, floppy foreskin. Ick.

Now this is what masturbation sounds like (minus the musical intro): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffSaZs6Vmk

[suranyi]

It was new to me. But then, I'm always the last to know about Internet memes. Maybe that's because I don't go to most of those websites that are notorious for spreading them, e.g. Fark.

[si_blakely]

Yeah, I'll be in my bunk...

fapping like a mother...
;)

Back in the 80s in NZ it we used strop/stropper in a similar onomatopoeic sense (as opposed to throwing a strop/stroppy for a tantrum). I never quite got it myself - those slappy noises are usually indications of non-solo activities, if you know what I mean.

[GuanoLad]

Don Martin syndrome.

[HBomb29]

Lol! I know ;) but i always wondered what the female version was. flap flap flap?

I've known that "phrase" for at least a decade (funky internet sites even back then), which makes driving by this Auto-Import/Processing site (http://www.fapsinc.com/)in Newark NJ sort of bizarre ever since (they used to have "Burma-shave"* style signs stuck in the fencing along Port Street, I think ending in "FAPS cares!". Also, holiday decorations like Turkeys, Pumpkins, Presidents etc suitable to the season).


*Yeah, well Kids today can watch classic Popeye, Bugs Bunny, & Road Runner cartoons on YouTube, so they darn-well know what those were.

[BigT]

If you've seen it with any context applied at all, I'd think it should have been obvious. At least, that's how I figured it out on the forum which must not be named.

When you said referenced, I at first thought you meant some movie or meme that used it first.

[DrDeth]

Too much time on Demotivational posters. :p

[Jenaroph]

But not in Words With Friends.

They're not that kind of friends.

Words With Friends With Benefits?

[SnakeBabe]

Of course ;-)

[Ranchoth]

Yeah, but...I've always wondered why people needed to specify firing a barrage Fuel Air Projectile (A backronym, truth be told, for "ФАП"—the actual original Russian term is slightly different, although it describes the same mechanism) from an SPG-9 recoilless launcher, using the authentic old-style Red Army fire support call, towards something they, from the context, seemed to find sexy.

I'm guessing it originated as an in-joke from a wargamer or military historian forum (the members of which are, typically, notoriously embittered against the overzealous political and "vice suppression" of the former USSR), and spread memetically from there.

:D

Looking at the comic right now (Mike's Left Hand, Family Ties), I see the proper female term is "shlick shlick shlick".

So when Wolverine does it, is it *snikt snikt snikt*?

(God, there's like two or three levels of horrible implications waiting behind that sound effect. :eek: )

We were leaving it just for you.

We were leaving it just for you.I have to bring SOMETHING to the board, right?

[Nava]

Yes, and it always makes me go 'ick'.

In my case it's more of a "bleargh".
