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 ..."
