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. --ESR & GLS]
