I studdenly got this question while on the shower, could it possibly mean that swear word that starts with F and ends with K?
It comes from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare where you could interact with a casket in a funeral scene by pressing F.
"Press F to pay respects" was widely ridiculed and became a meme
It's not "you could". The game does not progress until you press F, which turns what may have been a somewhat somber act into just a thing you're forced to do, completely removing the little respect you may have developped for that character in the short time he existed.
Yeah I've seen pics of that before but completely forgot about that lol, got answered here with a link to Wikipedia that remembered me of it but thank you!
I believe it's an evolution of a reference from one of the Call of Duty games. In the game you literally press F to pay respects at one point. Pretty sure it was memed to death and then evolved from there
It's from Advanced Warfare, where there's a part where you "press F to pay respects". So "F in the chat" is sort of a way to offer condolences or sympathy.
In the PC version Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare you, as the player, attend a funeral in the game. As it's your turn to walk up to the coffin, the game prompts you to "Press F to pay respects."
It became a meme and now people use F in place of RIP, or to "pay their respect" to something or someone that just "died", usually in a joking manner.
Nothing. Its the acton button in call of duty i believe. In one of yhe campaigns you had to press f to show respect at a funeral.
