heckin'

Internet-speak for very

Heckin' is a playful intensifier, a cutesy substitute for "fucking" that originated in internet culture, particularly in captions for dog photos: What a heckin' good boy.

The word belongs to "doggo-speak," a whimsical online dialect featuring deliberate misspellings and baby-talk.

It expresses enthusiasm while avoiding profanity: That's heckin' adorable.
