Rafiah Cajee January 18, now dats the best mafa*ing feeling ever True to its roots, it’s more commonly seen among black internet users, and, because it’s a more euphemistic shortening, it skews positive, standing in for “person,” especially a person someone likes and is close happy new year Mafa. It can be an intensifier (e.g., m afa is one mafa’ing versatile word).

Interestingly, we see mafa overtake mofo in Google Trends search interest in the 2010s, but this is likely due to Mafa Games, which offers dress-up and makeover games for young girls online. Urban Dictionary enters mafa by 2005 and people were mafa’ing on the likes of Twitter by the 2010s. We can find mafa on a 2003 message board (about, of all things, kite-flying) where a user euphemistically substitutes it for motherfucker in song lyrics. Mafa spreads further online in early 2000s-oh, the internet. Soon after, Usenet chatters noted the term in the 1990s. The novel features a split-personality black Civil Rights activist, Detta Walker, whoe King attempts to give dialect. Thrill-master Stephen King notably featured a version of mafa, mahfah, in The Drawing of the Three, his 1987 installment of his Dark Towers series. Hungry,I know one of you mafa cooked sumthin this morning Mofo takes its spelling from the O in mother, though in actual speech, many people would more likely pronounce a quicker, more casual motherfucker like muhfuh (which can be seen in hip-hip lyrics) or mafa, which is probably meant to represent the same sound. The others? Probably euphemism and censorship.

The first is pronunciation in Black English, which often drops unstressed, final R sounds. Its form is probably due to a couple factors. Mofo, as a shortening for motherfucker, is found by the 1960s. While both of these terms began as extremely offensive insults, they eventually became positive descriptors in Black English for something “badass” by the late 1950s. The slang motherfucker was created in the early 1900s, with motherfucking beginning in the 1890s.
