Foutrageous is the combination of the two adjectives Fucking and Outrageous to describe something epic. The purpose of such combination is for when you find yourself in the presence of toddlers and there is no other way to describe the subject you and your peers are discussing without using extreme profanity.
"Dude. . .see that gerbal trapper over there. . . Greg showed her what the angry pilgrim was yesterday."
"That's foutrageous!"
"That's foutrageous!"
