A more publicly usable alternative for the word Fucking.

Generally used as an Adjective, like to emphasize something.

The word Fuck is refferred to as the F-Word generally,
so "Fucking" would be F-Word with an "ing",

so that would be F-ing, and this is pronounced as "Ef-ing" and this evolved into "Effing" or "Efing" being an alternative for Fucking.

The "g" in "Effing" isn't required to get the desired pronounciation, so it is omitted, giving our result of "Effin" or "F-in"
Emphasised and publicly acceptable:
"That's very amazing !!"

More Emphasised but not publicly acceptable:
"That's fucking amazing !!"

More Emphasised AND publicly acceptable:
"That's effin amazing !!"

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
