Today’s new entry:
rat fuck interjection (used as an interjection); = fuck verb definition 1.d.
One of several new entries in the ratfuck family (we’ve already seen ratfuck n. 4), this one seems to be a particular favorite of Stephen King. My earliest evidence is from the mid-1990s.
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!
