How did motherfever come about?
My English is pretty low right now, but I’m not a native English speaker. I would like to know how people started using the mother fucker. Was there a time in history when “Mother Fucker” meant something different?
I know we see it in the movies sometimes, but did people call each other mom fuckers 100 years ago? How was my world at around 500 year ago? What was like a 1000 year ago?
Why don’t we also have father fuckers? Is the mother fucker only used on guys?

I read that the &er is attested from 1956, with –ing from 1933, however interestingly it lists the clipped form, simply mother (with context implied), since 1928, which to me means that the phrase was established earlier, but not attested.

In most cultures it is taboo coitus with one’s mother (and by extension incest in general) but not ever changed. What are these reasons? All of them are likely related to the genetic consequence (read ‘aberration’) that can arise from such activities.
So most languages/cultures have concepts very closely related to’motherf4cker.’ Certainly the story of Oedipus is probably the most famous example of the concept in popular and ancient culture, and correspondingly words to describe the practice(s) involved.
What comes out of my native Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages is “mother-‘ or “sister-f4cker’ respectively).

In his 1970 book Seize the Time, former Black Panther Bobby Seale attributes the term to slaves in the American South. He
said, “I’ve seen and heard brothers use the word, five times in one sentence and each time had a different meaning and expression. This is to be seen.” Eldridge ran it down to me once….he said, “The word in my article is black, but I haven’t heard him use the word four more times, five times in one sentence
Motherfucker comes from the old slave system and was a reference to the slave master who raped our women, which society today doesn’t want to face as a fact. If I know the introductory sequence about’man, let me tell you,’ see the following sentences. This motherfucker here went down there with his motherfucking gun, knocked down the motherfucking door and blew this motherfucker’s brain out. What makes them happy today? This shit is getting to be an motherfucker. Why
don’t we say “” ‘”?

I found a really great book on The F-word which answers this and almost any other question about the word fuck — anyone who has the slightest bit of curiosity about this subject would do well to check out Jesse Sheidlower’s Web site, a very accessible and fun book. In writing the book, the author had access to the Oxford English’s Dictionary’s archives — the most extensive and renowned of all dictionaries — so what he has to say is likely the final word on the matter.
Let’s start at the beginning of our questions. First of all, the concept behind the word Motherfucker is possibly very old. I believe that since the dawn of language, people have been insulting one another by attacking their mothers. The logic behind it is virtually ageless, because it is undergirded by a fundamental evolutionary truth, instinctually apparent to every creature since sex first came about — and that truth is that a mother’s fidelity is dear, to both her and her partner, and it is mostly unfavorable circumstances that serve to erode it.
What’s words? How do I make it clearer? Insulting a mother’s fidelity is so powerful because it lies at nexus at many of the most fundamental issues that a successful marriage must negotiate — saying I fucked your mother is a many pronged insult that implies a large number of unpleasant things. What can I tell
-
my father is stupid and boring too? How could he keep his wife away from him? Your mother twice-times her with impunity.
-
Your mother is a harlot. What is your story about her? Not only does she cuckold your father, but she does so evil in marriage, and this implies one that she might too be busy getting some to adequately take care of you and your siblings.
-
If you cannot receive any legitimate property for your father’s wife, you are illegitimate, and your mother is no good enough to make it into your father’s stable of wives; she’s no better than a common whore. Because of her sluttiness, your warden of a father cannot be sure that you are his, and accordingly he will not chance any of his life’s hard work on possibly another man’s child, an evolutionary disaster if there ever was one.
-
Your father is pathetic and unable to provide for you. My father and mother are good looking at each other, but my mother has to look out for the other man so that I can eat that day. I need to return to make sure my brother and I get enough material for my family. In fact, you are in your father’s debt, and you are whose father is in your father’s debt.
Why is fidelity important to a parent’s health as much as it is for a child’s child’s health? Unlike a mother, a father can simply work to support all of his dalliances; in fact, as long as you are a legitimate son, equanimity for a father fucker might be an epithet you look upon. Do you think your father is able to enjoy such a position? A sex member is actually a prank: a woman owes her sex only to the rape victim because of a single sex but the money doesn’t exist for him to commit against a victim unless she has enough money to afford her a mortgage while the man is promiscuous. So the question arises, based on an iron law.
Is it hard to see why a motherfucker would easily become a byword of opprobrium and contempt? To have a potential motherfucker walking around is to have an existential insult that threatens a man’s very identity as a legitimate member of his household.
But with all the etymology behind us, let’s go to the synonyms. Is there any validity to the etymologies here? The word came into its own in the 16 th and 17 th centuries, replacing the word sexi. In John Farmer’s and W.E. Eliot’s books, we have also found much about this matter. Henley’s Dictionary of Slang.
What is the nature of vulgarity back then? What is the actual proof of a defendant rebutting a slander judgment against him by claiming as late as 1846 that fuck were not English words. Of a defendant rebutting that sentence, the story was the same as the story about a woman who turned on a lover. [ Thus, we cannot be sure that born child was not actually attested by speech by the dates we have first written attestation, and unfortunately enough they are the only products amenable to historical investigation.

I was told it originates in Africa where many tribal religions worship mother nature. In essence, it refers to someone disrespecting mother Nature. And that person is only hurting herself. What does incest mean? In this sense it does not related to incest. Cannot verify any of this but the word does seem to be primarily African-American.
