(42,986 posts)If you aren't up on medieval slang, it was a 17th century word for a guy who's wife is cheating on him. (As in, he can't get it up.) So this explains how low the rightwing nut jobs have gone, right?

(33,643 posts)Appropriated as a favored word (for some reason) by the alt-right in particular, it connotes something kinda similar to 'snowflake' in their world ...

(58,424 posts)In their mind, as a husband, if you can't control your wife, you are weak. And the most extreme case of a husband's weakness is evidenced by a wife who cheats on her husband, the cuckold. So if you want to portray someone as a week loser who people walk all over, you call him a "cuck."

After the Civil War, the white supremacist movement radicalized its supporters with the fear of black men raping white women. Even Shakespeare evoked the sexual element of racial angst: in Othello, Iago attempts to pit Desdemonas father against his Moorish son-in-law by evoking very specific imagery: Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe.

In NJ, if you want to get your ass kicked, as in 'Zero to Fucked Up' in one sec., call a Hispanic male a Cabrone.
It pretty much means that the man is anything but one.

(43,802 posts)"Why Angry White Men Love Calling People Cucks:"
Its literal meaning references a submissive man sexually cuckolded by a woman. Now, it is a catch-all among the alt-right, in the dark corners of the internet where #feminismisacancer hashtags are a badge of pride and the real enemy is PC culture, where cuck has become shorthand for any perceived weakness, or rather, perceived reluctance to exploit strength.
