I think you get the point, I left out the U so its not actually a swear, don’t know how you guys feel about that stuff.
But I said this the other day, and my friend mentioned that is doesn’t really make sense. Is it a shortened thing for saying “Fucking Ass”, as in an insult? Or maybe it just came from people being pissed off and yelling like, “Fucking aahhhH!!” and it just kind of got shortened to A?
Any ideas on how this one came around?
And if the foul language isn’t welcome, I apologize.
Around here the full expression is Fucking A Touchee, although I’m unsure of the spelling on the touchee part.
Also, Fuckin’ A Bubba and Fuckin’ A Right are also used.
I have a theory that it was derived from a fencing term, bastardized French as it were, with something like “vous Connaiz touche’” meaning roughly “do you acknowledge the touch?”
Really though, I’ve heard it all my life and have thought it was a very strong way of saying “yes” or “you bet” or “I see.”
Normally when i say it it isn’t meaning “yes” though, its because I’m mad at something and just letting out some anger. I guess its no different than other swears really, some people when they get real mad they just start sayin random words that don’t make much sense… maybe this one just caught on. Hmm
