1. It was originally a slang term used in Ireland to mean either a) "to steal" or b) "to throw".
2. It's also used as a pretty mild swear word in Ireland.
It's used a) to express that you're pissed off or b) to describe somebody who pissed you off.
It's not related to the word 'Fuck', and doesn't have any sexual undertones, so is acceptable for polite company.
3. The characters in the sit-com Father Ted made the use of 'Feck' more popular outside of Ireland, most noticeably in the United Kingdom.
Unlike what a lot of people think, the scriptwriters did NOT invent 'feck' to get past censors who didn't allow the word 'fuck'. In fact, 'feck' was used as a mild swear word LONG before Father Ted made it famous!

exactly the same as 'fuck' but so much more fun to use.
originating from Ireland and put to great and hilarious use in the excellent show 'Father Ted', mainly by Father Jack, it is an excellent way to swear, as you can express exactly the same amount of frustration that you would through using 'fuck', but you don't get in trouble - great!
