what the fuck
Disbelief, crudely stated
What the fuck is an exclamation of shock, confusion, anger, or disbelief—fuck intensifying what to demand explanation or express bewilderment.
It questions something absurd or outrageous: What the fuck just happened?
It can stand alone as pure reaction: What the fuck!
Often abbreviated WTF in text.
The phrase sometimes softens to what the heck or what the hell.
