Feck

n.

Heard in Limerick, Cork, Dublin, Waterford and Mayo

A milder stand-in for the stronger swear with a 'u' instead of the 'e'. Like eejit, it is used extensively. It has no sexual connotations (you would not say "I'd like to feck yer wan"). It can be used in most other circumstances.

In use

Posh English

By my arse, I most certainly shall not.
