hey english language quick question, uh, what the fuck

[malvoliowithin]

@necromancy-savant you were right

Apparently fuck used to mean ‘strike’ so it’s a bird that strikes the air with its wings. The modern usage is very, very unfortunate.

Also I’m calling kestrels this from now on.

[rlyehtaxidermist]

today I learned that “windfucker” is a 17th-century term for a kestrel

synonyms include: windhover, windsucker, fuckwind

[roseboy-in-training]

where the FUCK are my SHAPESHIFTER BATTLES flying all over the place as hawk and kestrel and ripping each other apart as wolves and bears and buffalo and hiding as snakes and rats high speed chases as cheetahs and gazelle FUCK

[letsnotandsaywewantedto]

Never forget.

More here and here.

Today I learned that the old english name for the kestrel was windfucker or sometimes, fuckwind.

Anyone looking for a band name?
