It stands for fornication

Oh look, it's the joke every psych 101 student for the last 50 years has learned. I hope Freshman year went ok for scandalousadventures.

I took psych 101 at my local community college, we didn't learn this. What I did learn was that the majority of my class were either on or abusing prescription meds, based on their knowledge of the effects and side effects that came up during the lectures.

Look, you're a textbook, I get that you don't wanna say fuck.

But fornicating is right there.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, but then they wouldn’t clearly mean fucking

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

I prefer to mate, thank you.

F**king 😏

Damned censors.

Fracking? What the fuck...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Every time we frack I get this feeling And every time we drill, I swear I can fly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I believe I can fly…
I believe I can touch the sky…

Unfortunately it's out of date, and fawning and freezing have since been added.

Ah yes the well known biological drive to put leftover food in the freezer.

You are mixing up the four Fs

Fight Flight Freeze and Fawn as the response to Fear

And functions of hypothalamus that had shit mnemonic put in textbook.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Those are trauma responses, not exactly the same sort of list as basic biological drives. Inter-related, certainly, but not quite the same.

I’m just proud I got through this comment without saying “ackshually”.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Flop, funster, fib... It's like some authors need to leave their mark on that list by adding yet another F.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fawning? As in giving birth? Giving adoration? Acting childish?

That's freezing.

Sucking up to the oppressor. Stockholm syndrome is an extreme example. It prioritises long term survival over freedom.

Basically, be nice to the bastard aggressive boss, and hopefully he won't fire you for looking at him funny.

it doesn't matter how many f words they come up with, we're all saying the same one in the moment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

ironically, the person experiencing all of the f things are all thinking the same f word regardless
