A final solution to a situation, usually after much deliberation, and a final acceptance of that fact. It can be giving up on expecting someone to show up, or as it's typically used amongst The Mafia, a death sentence.

Play on what the hell or WTF. Apparently coined by Tina Fey's Liz Lemon character on the tv sitcom 30 Rock. Somewhat sarcastic poke at tv language censor dubbing where over-dubbed audio often uses lame alternatives the actual swear word. What the fuck you motherfucker would be dubbed "What the frick you motherlover?!?"
