Meaning & Usage
01
"to fuck, damn"
An ancient French vulgarism that functions as both a noun (semen) and a verb (to fuck, to do, to put). In modern usage, the sexual meaning has faded behind its role as an all-purpose intensifier. 'Qu'est-ce que tu fous?' means 'what the hell are you doing?' without anyone thinking about sex.
Examples in the Wild
'J'en ai rien à foutre' (I don't give a damn). 'Il fout rien' (he does nothing). 'C'est foutu' (it's done for, it's screwed).
