keep up the good work.

coined by television anchor ernie anastos during a live broadcast of the fox 5 new york local news. (see videos on youtube.)
news anchor to weatherman: “great forecast. keep f-cking that chicken.”
“keep f-cking that chicken” (kftc) is a phrase coined by television anchor ernie anastos during a live broadcast of the fox 5 new york local news. it is presumably a phrase of encouragement similar to keep on truckin, only with a more pr-nounced and colorful air of defiance.

the chicken being f-cked may be an actual chicken, could be pejorative slang for a woman (i.e. chickenhead), or some other metaphor for an object of desire or enjoyable activity. in any case, kftc seems to be a gesture of support to the recipient to continue doing whatever it is that they’re doing, despite what others may say, so long as it makes them happy.
