smegging

A form of jamming in telecommunications. I can only see this in Urban Dictionary (same definition). Equinox ◑ 10:09, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

I suspect it is related to SMEG channels, but finding good cites is a challenge. Kiwima (talk) 18:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Seems to be a neoligism suggested on Reddit "If you write a white paper on this, you should call this method "Smegging" since I brought it to your attention. ;-)"—AnotherSmegHead [1]. SpinningSpark 01:32, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

While we are here, are the other senses British English? I am not familiar with them, and the (deprecated template usage) sodding in the definition made me curious. - TheDaveRoss 18:34, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

It was coined in the comedy Red Dwarf. I don't think it has ever had an explicit meaning, but it is usually understood as a replacement word for fucking (as an obscenity, not the literla meaning). SpinningSpark 00:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
