English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Originally from the English translation of the manga "Heartbreak Angels", presumably from Japanese onomatopoeia. Popularized on the Internet by strip #003 of the online comic "Sexy Losers" by Hard. The strip and an explanation can be seen at [1] (warning, may be offensive).
Pronunciation[edit]
Interjection[edit]

- onomatopoeia for the sound of male masturbation (chiefly Internet slang).
Verb[edit]
{{en-verb|fap|p|ed}}
- (of males) To masturbate (chiefly Internet slang).
Noun[edit]
fap (plural faps)
- (of males) An instance of masturbation (chiefly Internet slang).
Usage notes[edit]
Because of the term's onomatopoetic nature, the first meaning can only be used when referring to a male. Hard later coined shlick as the female counterpart but its usage is not nearly as widespread. However, due to the lack of use of shlick, fap has been more recently used to refer to both male and female masturbation.
The usage "fap to x" refers to x as what one is watching or thinking of while fapping, e.g. "He fapped to the latest Britney Spears video" or "I fapped to loli."
Combined forms such as fappable, faptastic, and fapworthy have been sighted.
