Today’s new entry:
fuck machine noun an extremely vigorous sexual partner. Compare fucking machine at fucking adjective sense 1.
A particularly nice entry, if I say so myself. The quotations include such notables as Charles Bukowski, Harold Robbins, the poet C. D. Wright, and Quentin Tarantino (from Reservoir Dogs). The comparison at fucking machine is for a literal use: a machine used for sexual gratification. There weren’t enough examples of this sense to draft this as a second sense at fuck machine.
This is a sample definition of one of the many (over 120) new entries from the third edition of The F-Word. In the time leading up to publication, I will be featuring one such entry a day. In the book itself, these definitions will be supplemented with a number of quotations showing the use of the word or phrase (which is the whole point of a historical dictionary of this sort). In other words, this is only a teaser!
