tmesis
in grammar and rhetoric, the separation of the parts of a
compound word, now generally done for humorous effect
“abso-f-cking-lutely”
the art of breaking one word into two parts, inserting a different word (often an expletive) in between those two parts, hence forth turning two different words into one in order to give extra emphasis
from greek, a cutting, from temnein, to cut (see tem- in indo-european roots)
examples of tmesis are found in the following, well-known quotes:
la-dee-freakin-da, a less offensive alternative, was made famous via chris farley on snl.
wel-diddly-elcome, one of many ri-godd-mn-diculous phrases ned flanders often drops on the simpsons.
other famous phrases include:
fan-f-cking-tastic (the departed)
ala-f-cking-bama (my cousin vinny)
viet-f-cking-nam! (forrest gump)
i’m not o-f-cking-kay (my chemical romance)
that makes him a lia-f-cking-bility (boondock saints), and
a whole ‘nother’ (insertion of “whole” into “another,” rather than “a whole new”)
