Talk:motherfucker

Can someone provide a citation for "fatherfucker"? I've heard "motherfucker" thousands of times but I don't think I've ever heard "fatherfucker". The closest I can think of is from Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, where he talks of "mother-rapers . . . father-stabbers," and then for further darkly humorous effect, "father-rapers".

If nothing turns up in the next few days, I suggest we remove the reference.

"Motherfucker"

Bobby Seale, of the Black Panther party, was at pains to explain that a motherfucker was not somebody who fucked his own mother; it was someone who fucked your mother. Given the origins of the word among African-Americans, and the long legacy of slavery, I would think that is the more likely derivation. (See "Seize the Time: the Story of the Black Panther Party" by Seale.)

Etymology: "The injury comes from the implication of somebody sleeping with their own mother, but was probably not used literally until later."

This explanation of the etymology of the word is, I think, how a Caucasian might derive the meaning. But (given the explanation above from Bobby Seale), I think it may not be really accurate. The description "probably not used literally" is rather ambiguous.

The injury is not from incest, but from rape.

“Motherfucker” and “Fucker” are similar and related the same

All countries worldwide would also say this in certain situations as when they’re in danger of threats to at risk. They even also say when doing their own efforts to a usage of the connotations. And any gender as well teenagers and adults says those both words IRL (In real life). Sherlocks1050 (talk) 02:09, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
