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 ..."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
