FFFF
or Four Fs or 4-F Club [fohr efs]
What does听贵贵贵贵听mean?
FFFF is a vulgar slang acronym that refers to the misogynist motto, “find ’em, feel ’em, fuck ’em, and forget ’em.” The ’em in this case? You guessed it: women-in-general. There are variations on FFFF, including the total number of Fs and what specifically they stand for (e.g., fool,听feed, etc).听It can also be a self-censoring euphemism for that classic four-letter F word.
Where does FFFF come from?
FFFF, also known as the Four Fs or 4-Fs, has been around in forms since at least 1922. It is a crass, disrespectful, macho motto for treating women as disposable sex objects.
An early form went find ’em, feel ’em, fuck ’em, and forget ’em.听Specific meanings of the Fs can vary, including fool, finger, and feed, and can be added to form Five Fs.

One notable example of FFFF comes in the 1933 film I’m No Angel, starring the legendary Mae West, who advises her maid to “find ’em, fool ’em, and forget ’em” regarding men, a subversive riff on the original. The rap group N.W.A. released the song “Findum, Fuckum, & Flee” in 1991. Entries for 贵贵贵贵听were added to Urban Dictionary in 2002.
The term came into the public spotlight in September 2018 during hearings on sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Bret Kavanaugh.听His 1983 high school yearbook contained the note “FFFFFFFourth of July” next to his picture.
Many thought the Fs to be a reference to the vile听FFFF听treatment of women, especially based on the testimony of his chief accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Questioned by Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse about the Fs, Kavanaugh claimed: “One of our friends, Squee, when he said the F word starting at young age, had kind of a wind-up to the F word. Kind of a ‘FFFF’鈥nd it became an inside joke for the鈥 word.” Hmmmm… (Four Ms in that, we’ll have you note)
Also nothing checked out for kavanaugh. Boof flatulence? No. Anal sex. Fffff stands for fuck? No. Find them feel them finger them fuck them forget them.

Who uses FFFF?
FFFF is a misogynistic term, implying treating women as sex objects. That doesn’t stop men from joking about鈥搊r, in certainly too many instances, carrying out鈥搕he FFFF credo. It’s something of a听meat-headed boast, if you ask us, especially when men who say they live by FFFF are part of an FFFF听or 4-F Club鈥揳n ironic play on the wholesome image of the 4-H Club.
Like this page, where he signs his letter like so many east coast kids at that time – part of the lyrics to the 4 F Club, by the band The Mentors? 鈥淔ind her, Feel her… – you get the point…鈥� Love, Kavanaugh… handwritten and all.
