A small village of approx. 12,000 in east-central Illinois, located at the intersection of Interstates 57 and 70. Known to many passers-through simply as "that town with the big white cross which for some reason is clad in white mobile home siding."
Acknowledged by some as the unofficial southern boundary of intelligent civilization in the state of Illinois. . .any farther south, better break out the banjo and raise the confederate flag.
The word "effingham" is commonly misconstrued as some permutation of a curse word by individuals unfamiliar with the city's meager existence.
Interesting factoid: Effigham High School's mascot. . ."The Flaming Hearts"

When one vomits over and over in a social situation, completely blindsiding everyone. The vomiting stops, and a few seconds pass... One of your friends present says, "Dude, are you ..." You interrupt him with more vomit. No one expects it to happen, but all of a sudden... BOOM. Effinghammed.
Pete: Man! I'm so glad you suggested going out to this bar! Lots of hot women! Lots of cheap drink! The music is OH MY GOD DUDE!
Damon: :bllllluuuuuuuuurrrrrfffffppptttppppppp hhuuuuuuurppppp:
Pete: My new shoes....

Pete: Damon, are you HOLY SHIT!
Damon: :huuuuuuuuurrrrrrkkkkkk slluuuurrppppbluuurrrrtttssssss:
Damon: Ugh, (spits), sorry man. Effinghammed.

definition: all-purpose, relatively clean yet still dirty-sounding replacement for fuck.
background: created by some fools I know (big props to the GTX for using this first!) as an all-purpose replacement for...yeah, you see how that goes. The derivation comes from seeing a street sign for "effingham street", and things just went from there.

used with primarily army personnel to describe a particularly retarded action or comeback by another soldier
can also be used in a west virginia type context to describe being from a primarily "straight" family tree.

A small high school in in the southern part of Effingham County in South Georgia. Known for their annoying herd of Mustangs and their failtastic football team. This is where all the hicks, rednecks, and inbreds go to school.
A: "Did that guy just kiss his sister?!"
B: "Yeah, they go to South Effingham."
A: "Ohhhh....that explains it."
