[edit] Fuck Me

A rather uncommon exlimation (sic). Fuck me, is that really so? Actually this is a rather fascinating expression, in a sense, and somebody could write an intelligent paper on it. (For starters, see the opening paper in Zwicky et al., Studies out in left field.) Not the original poster of the article, however. Or indeed myself. And if there were an intelligent paper on it, this would be of some coitolinguistic interest but it would not be encyclopedic. -- Hoary 04:28, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)

• Redirect to Fuck. I had a friend who used to say "fuck me dead" all the time until I kept answering "yes please" in response. Needless to say she stopped saying that expression from then on. Megan1967 07:19, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Fuck. It's really wiktionary material but the word is in wikipedia. Kappa 09:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Megan1967 and Kappa, I believe that "fuck you", "fuck off", "fuck (someone) over", "fuck me sideways" (jocular), "fuck-up" (noun) and more are idiomatic. Would you suggest redirects from each to "fuck"? I suggest not, and I further suggest that any person who's not extraordinarily dimwitted and doesn't find an article for one of them (or for "fuck you") can go to "fuck". -- Hoary 09:35, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC). PS aw fuck it, I think I called that one wrong. Read on. -- Hoary 04:29, 2005 Feb 16 (UTC)

• "fuck you" is already a redirect and "fuck off" probably should be. Redirects for less likely expressions wouldn't be worth creating (or deleting, if created). Remember if someone doesn't find something at "fuck X", they might go to "fuck", or they might waste their time and ours creating a new article. Kappa 15:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hoary I suggested redirecting in order to prevent article recreation. I certainly agree with you that having an article on every "fuck" variate would be pushing the limit for Wikipedia (and it will no doubt be wasting voters time whenever they go up for VfD). Megan1967 01:44, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You certainly have a point about the prophylactic virtues of redirection. Yes, you've convinced me. -- Hoary 04:29, 2005 Feb 16 (UTC)

• Delete I don't think the author even got the definition right... whenever I've heard it, it seems to be an expression of surprise, sort of a vulgar substitute for "Hey, look at that!". There's a character named Beaver in Stephen King's novel Dreamcatcher who says it a lot. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:17, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Fuck. heh heh heh I said f***. HyperZonk 16:43, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, inept dicdef of a trivial construction (and there are tonnes of 'em), no RD please. Wyss 18:44, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect or we will very well be here once again in the near future. GRider\^talk 00:18, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

True enough... RD. Wyss 13:58, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect; the redirect discussion above is quite convincing. Antandrus 04:35, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirects are cheap, and fuck me if we don't get another article at this title in a week otherwise. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 15:56, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
