What does the compliment "This fucks." mean? And how is it used in a sentence?

Some_Rando2@reddit

I have never heard anyone say that in my 51 year life

[-]

Rdd15@reddit

I think that you are about 25 years too old to have heard that. It’s a thing for the kids.

[-]

Spiritual_Being5845@reddit

I have an older teen, a younger teen, and a pre-teen. They are not shy about dropping an F bomb around me. I’ve never heard them say “this fucks.”

[-]

Some_Rando2@reddit

I know some of "the kids" I know what rizz means, no-cap, etc. Never heard that from any of them.

Phoenix_Court@reddit

I have never in my life heard that phrase.

"Fuck" in general is a very versatile word and can be good or bad. So if I had to take a guess I would assume it could be good or bad depending entirely on context.

[-]

The great thing about "Fuck" is that it can mean literally anything. It's used as a verb, adverb, adjective, noun....anything. You interpret it based on the context. If the person saying "This fucks" is excited, upbeat, etc then it means "This is awesome". If they're more down, angry, upset, then it means "This sucks".

Fuck is the absolute most versatile awesome word in English.

I’ve been saying that for years. Fuck is the most versatile word in English. But I do think you have to have a really good understanding of the language and culture to get the nuances.

[-]

oh_such_rhetoric@reddit

“Shit” is also incredibly versatile. Between the two, you can probably say just about anything with a few other words to fill it in.

[-]

BassTacos242@reddit

Fuck this shit. Fuck, this shit. This shit fucks. This shit-fuck. This fucking shit. Shit, fuck this. Shit-fuck this.

From the show Slicone Valley. Or at least one of the biggest sources of this phrase.

A character says “this guy fucks.” As a compliment saying that the person has sex a lot. And the person does not seem like they fuck a lot.

Well it turns out that character (Jared) did fuck a lot.

So now sometimes people will say anything along the lines of “this guy fucks” or “this song fucks” or “these chicken nuggets fuck.”

It’s like how an 8th grader boy thinks the coolest attributes someone can have is by now much sex they have. And it’s gotta be a lot to officially be referenced as “this guy fucks.” It’s very juvenile and usually meant to be funny.

You can go on YouTube and search “silicone valley this guy fucks” and you will see where this phrase likely came from. Idk if anyone else said that prior to this scene on this show.

Worth noting that the guy who says that is an insecure, off-putting billionaire man-child who everyone barely tolerates because he owns part of the company. When he sees Jared (with his awkward, uptight corporate normie presentation) for the first time it’s like the only way he can make sense of how he belongs with these other guys is that he must secretly be an absolute stickman.

I don’t know if it has that valence for everyone else, but that always sticks with me.

Drew707@reddit

I, too, would be upset if I only had dos comas.

[-]

charcoal_kestrel@reddit

I turn to that scene to cheer me up when I am sad about being down to just two commas.

[-]

Eubank31@reddit

I say this all the time and it's from Silicon Valley of all things😭😭

[-]

taskforceslacker@reddit

As an additional thought, “fucks” in this context wouldn’t necessarily refer to the physical act, but rather “fucks life” alluding to the fact that he absolutely dominates everything he does.

[-]

Professional-Pungo@reddit

well, Jared had the easily ability to fuck, but I don't think he did it alot.

to him it was like so easy that he never cared about it

[-]

SabresBills69@reddit

It’s called Silicon Valley

[-]

funktion666@reddit

Whoops lol. Thanks, updated.

[-]

bratkittycat@reddit

Literally have never heard this anywhere.

[-]

thats-gold-jerry@reddit

It means it’s really good.

[-]

AdmiralChancey@reddit

It’s pretty much a major compliment, for example a song you really like, “This song FUCKS”

[-]

SphericalCrawfish@reddit

"This fucks." Is a complete stand alone sentence. But what they are trying to say is "This shit slaps."

[-]

rattlehead44@reddit

This is dope! Or, this is sick!

[-]

mab0roshi@reddit

Hella dope.

[-]

aquay@reddit

never heart that one

[-]

Bluemonogi@reddit

I have not heard people saying this.

[-]

HeyPurityItsMeAgain@reddit

Who says this. It's stupid.

[-]

Certain-Monitor5304@reddit

No idea.

[-]

Upstairs-Crow6572@reddit

"This/that fucks" - something that looks pleasing or is pleasing

Ex: Person 1: "Look at this new shirt I got!!" Person 2: "Woah, that fucks"

[-]

DOMSdeluise@reddit

I would not recommend using this phrase because it is extremely reddit (derogatory). Just know that it is meant to be complimentary.

[-]

GreenBeanTM@reddit

Tell me you’re old without telling me 😂

[-]

BuildNuyTheUrbanGuy@reddit

What?

[-]

DOMSdeluise@reddit

what is unclear?

[-]

bdrwr@reddit

"Fuck" is an extremely versatile swear with a million different uses.

To say "this fucks" is a compliment because somebody who has lots of sexual success is often viewed as high-status. The perception of successful, attractive men is that they have lots of sex, so when you say "damn, that FUCKS," you're saying that thing is an exemplar, it's desirable, it's successful, strong, and sexy.

[-]

ApprehensiveWin3020@reddit

Means something (or someone) is awesome.

[-]

ELMUNECODETACOMA@reddit

It's fairly new. I've actually only heard it in a similar context: "I fuck with 'Sinners'" meaning "I really really like 'Sinners'".

As others have said, "fuck" is one of the most versatile words in American English and can occupy pretty much any part of speech in different contexts.

"Fuck! The fucking fucker's fucked!"

[-]

camsle@reddit

You bring me a cold beer out of no where. Happily I say to my other pal, "This fuck just brought me a beer."

Or you shoe up wth a case of cold beers. I say "OHHH, look at this fuck!"

[-]

Agitated-Sock3168@reddit

Not the same

[-]

camsle@reddit

Please do tell then.

[-]

Agitated-Sock3168@reddit

Do you really not grasp the difference?

[-]

camsle@reddit

"This fuck" is a complicated malaphor and/or inflection. Please elaborate on your response.

[-]

Agitated-Sock3168@reddit

"This fuck" (your example) is not the same as "this fucks" (the topic of the thread)

[-]

camsle@reddit

Please use it as a compliment help me out. I see the compliment "he fucks" and the plural compliment "you fucks." Or am I just missing the basic use of "this fucks" meaning that its really good because fucking is really good?

[-]

Alexandur@reddit

Or am I just missing the basic use of "this fucks" meaning that its really good because fucking is really good?

Pretty much, yes.

"This fucks" is something I might say in response to an image of a cool banana skateboarding. It's a verb in this case, not a noun.

[-]

Low-Locksmith-6801@reddit

Never heard it. Just because you see it on the internet doesn’t mean people really say it.

[-]

witchy12@reddit

Yeah people definitely say this.

[-]

Low-Locksmith-6801@reddit

I guess you can find people who mimic what they see on a TV show - people who are fine saying crude things. Poll 10,000 people and I bet you’d find about 3 who have ever said it. Maybe tomorrow they’ll think of something more stupid…I’m sure they will.
