File System Consistency Check, or File System check is a system utility on Unix systems for checking file consistency.
Microsoft equivalents would be scandisk and chkdsk

It has been used as a profanity, as a replacement of fuck to get past autocensors/filters and also as a literal insult.

Sometimes used as general slang for to check/repair something.
fsck /dev/hd1

A moron's way of censoring fuck, in order to get around online censors. The funny thing is, most censors will catch poor fsck, but won't catch f*ck. It's seen quite often on popular sites that don't even have censors.
I need to curse, but why bother reaching for the asterick? FSCK!
