Derivative of the word ‘
fucking’, 'effing' means litterally ‘
F-ing’. You may see it used on a
message board where
derogatory words (such as the
f-word) are not allowed, to take the place the un-allowed.(Note that on sites such as GameFAQs, this is known as
censor bypassing, and you most likely will get modded for it, whether be by a
nobleman or some
n00b merely&purely because s\he can.) It is, however,
its own, unique word, seperate from ‘
fucking’ or ‘
f'ing’ or ‘
F-ing’ in its entireity.
The reason that "I'm late for class"'s definition of this word has received such low ratings is for the fact that
s\he acted as a ‘language
elitist’ and instantly put the word down, when in actuality
s\he did not know the etymological origin of the word and whe\how\under what contexts.. it is generally used.
