fuckeulogy

It's the opposite of a eulogy. Instead of speaking of a dead person's better qualities and praising them for their life achievements, a fuckeulogy focuses on the dark side of the dead person and all the misdeeds they have done. Fuckeulogies are reserved for those who are universally hated by the masses, and who will in no way, shape or form be missed when they die. It boils down to delivering the final 'fuck you' to a dead person at their funeral.

People who would qualify: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Gadaffi, Kim Jung Il, Osama Bin Ladin, etc.

The term was coined by satirist and comedian John Oliver (seen on 'The Daily Show' with Jon Stewart). Oliver coined the term on his Podcast 'The Bugle' with Andy Zaltzman (episode 152).
Dumping Osama Bin Laden's body into the sea robbed the survivors of the 9/11 dead of delivering a decent fuckeulogy.

Derived from "fuck all" meaning absolutely nothing, i.e. 'fuck-all-ogy'.

A pejorative combination used in or of academia, especially sociology studies. Exemplified by the creation or synthesizing of theory or methodological frameworks, e.g. citing pretentious complex language to explain simple social phenomena in order to seem legitimate. Not to be confused with the science of sex (of “fucking” as it were).

For example, a doctor of fuckology meaning "a doctorate in absolutely nothing of any value". The word later made its way into porn industry via the title by either a secondary meaning or misappropriation; 'Babyface and the Fuckologist'.

The word fuckology seems to have come about because of a sense of inadequacy in the arts and social sciences towards "real" sciences.
Notably used in the intro to The Sex Pistols 1977 version of Iggy Pop's No Fun.

"Here we go now, a sociology lecture, with a bit of psychology, a bit of neurology, a bit of fuck-all-ogy (fuckology), no fun ..."
