The Etymology (Origin) of “Heck”
Posted on August 5, 2008 at 23:05 Down the Drain
I want to say WTH but it’s become a cliché for me so I’ll state my theory on how the word came into being instead. As you ought to know, people in the English-speaking community have this expression, what the. More specifically, there’s what the hell and what the fuck. The way I absorb it, what the heck originated from the two — “he” from hell and “ck” from fuck. Perhaps the main reason that the word, or should I say the whole expression, was brought up is for it to become more acceptable and neutral (whatever). With all honesty, I haven’t read anything about this yet. I actually kind of firmly believe that my guess is true. :tongue:

In my previous post I was talking about getting too much excited about Friday. Now, I don’t think I’ll ever be wishing for that day to come again. Haha. Last Friday was the worst session we had. It finally convinced me that there really is such thing as a drunk person and not being able to remember everything (or anything at all!) the following day. The dorm staff that night even had to check up on me. Luckily, we were still not summoned by the dorm manager to discuss it. We didn’t do any damage to the dorm nor to any resident after all. The only thing that I’m regretting about is the fact that I lost my ATM cards that night. I have no idea how it got away out of my pocket. Now, I am absolutely broke. I badly need a big amount of money especially for the coming Y4iT — registration fee and transportation fare — this September in UP Diliman. Somebody, help me! If I need to resort to prostitution then I’d be very glad to. 😆 :laugh: J/K
Thank God It’s Friday!

We had no single class today. I got totally awakened at 8:30 when I heard my roommate/classmate calling me as he was about to leave for school. I slept at 4:00 doing the character sketches (and watching animé episodes Itazura na Kiss 16 & Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 01) for our animation subject. Of course, I decided to take a few more minutes to rest obviously planning on being late or absenting. When I arrived at school, as usual, our teacher didn’t attend to us. There was no electricity in the building. In World Literature (Lit2) our teacher was sick while in the afternoon our teacher didn’t have a class because of being overwhelmed by the fact that the new college dean is from our division. So basically that’s it. We walked back to the dorm twice today — something that doesn’t happen often.
Anyway, tomorrow’s another Friday. When we met Joefer on the road upon arriving at the dorm area this afternoon, I shouted at him, “Joef! It’s Friday tomorrow!” And he replied, “Korak! (Correct!)” I can no longer wait! :laugh:
