fuck me harder
excl. Sometimes uttered in response to egregious misbehavior, esp. in
software, and esp. of misbehaviors which seem unfairly persistent (as though
designed in by the imp of the perverse). Often theatrically elaborated:
Aiighhh! Fuck me with a piledriver and 16 feet of curare-tipped wrought-iron
fence and no lubricants ! The phrase is sometimes heard abbreviated FMH in
polite company. [This entry is an extreme example of the hackish habit of
coining elaborate and evocative terms for lossage. Here we see a quite
self-conscious parody of mainstream expletives that has become a running gag
in part of the hacker culture; it illustrates the hackish tendency to turn
any situation, even one of extreme frustration, into an intellectual game
(the point being, in this case, to creatively produce a long-winded
description of the most anatomically absurd mental image possible the short
forms implicitly allude to all the ridiculous long forms ever spoken).
Scatological language is actually relatively uncommon among hackers, and
there was some controversy over whether this entry ought to be included at
all. As it reflects a live usage recognizably peculiar to the hacker
culture, we feel it is in the hackish spirit of truthfulness and opposition
to all forms of censorship to record it here.
