Language is a living thing. New words are invented every day. Most never make it into the dictionary and fade out once their novelty wears off; a few are embraced by the public and become part of the language. Meanwhile, archaic words drop out of usage and are forgotten by everyone but those who read dictionaries for fun.
Today I ran across one new addition to the language that hasn’t quite achieved liftoff yet. While browsing the A Voice for Men Facebook page — to check if it was still up, and possibly gather some new memes for a future post — I noticed a posting referring to the inhabitants of the Great White North as “Cucknadians.”
Well, that’s a new one. The internet Nazis and assorted other reactionary twerps who have made “cuck” their favorite insult delight in working “cuck” into any word they can. These are the guys, after all, who managed to insinuate “cuckservative” into mainstream political discourse here in the US.
But I hadn’t seen “Cucknadian” before (or at least hadn’t remembered seeing it). A quick Google later, I found out that AVFM was hardly the first to use this invented word. It seems to have originated on Twitter last August, where it has since become an insult of choice for a small but growing coterie of Gamergaters, Internet Nazis, Trump supporters, and other sh*tposters. You know, the usual gang.
“Cuck” is an insult loosely inspired by interracial “cuckold” porn, in which white “hotwives” have sex with black men while their “husbands” watch; the term is meant to suggest that the person so labeled is unmanly and/or insufficiently racist. A “Cucknadian,” naturally, is a “cuck”… who’s Canadian.
Like “cuck,” “Cucknadian” is a pretty toothless insult; it’s only insulting to people who think that being a woman-hating racist is a good thing. But that hasn’t stopped woman-hating racists from using it.
It’s sometimes used as a handy term of abuse for politicians like Canada’s — sorry, Cucknada’s — progressive Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (the intended target of this Tweet):
CuckNadian #PierreTrudeau will learn that #GamerGate is ETERNAL.

And the allegedly “cuckservative” former Canadian citizen Ted Cruz:

But it has wider applications as well:
The term has now gone beyond Twitter, taking hold amongst some of the worst people on the Internet, showing up in dozens of threads on 4chan in the last couple of months — mostly on the legendarily awful /pol/ board — as well as on such lovely sites as The Daily Stormer, the Roosh V forum, and the virulently racist and malware-ridden Sheeky Forums.
And now it’s made its way into the Men’s Rights movement. Who knows what other terrible places it will go next?
Oh, the places you’ll cuck!
/dreamy look
Ummmm Pierre Trudeau is dead. Long live PM Justin Trudeau.
There has to be something with “cuck” and “canuck”. But considering this is the same crowd that came up with “meninist” rather than the much more euphonic “masculist”, I wouldn’t count on them to figure out anything clever.
… or he would if he weren’t dead. At least get the name of the CuckNadian PM right.
Umm, Pierre Trudeau hasn’t been Prime Minister since about 1985, and, far from being eternal, died fifteen years ago.
tktk, ooooops. In my defense the Tweet I was referring to got the name wrong too. Ok, that’s not really much of a defense.
They just don’t stop, do they?
What’s next; Cuckstralia?
I can’t for the life of me figure out why they can’t see how devastating that insult isn’t.
I’m sure Canadians will do just fine, as will their dreamy Prime Minister. Strange how “superior” people convince themselves that inventing silly terms to call people is the height of cleverness.
When you have to resort to insults, you really have no argument, do you?
There’s something genuinely amazing about how pleased they sound when they use their little cuck ‘pun’ like it’s the ultimate gotcha.
That sort of departure from reality is truly impressive. Of course, based on their general beliefs, reality was never really their forte.
I really did read dictionaries for fun in my misspent youth.
Wonder when JudgyBitch will weigh in on this extremely important development…. /s
ffrancis – maybe there will be a Pierre Trudeau cucknadian zombie in a future episode of The Walking Dead

Patricia Kayden – so true
Funny how Canada has a more stable economy and political system and hasn’t devolved into the anti-intellectual right-wing populism that is currently plaguing the United States and Europe
Are there still Gamergaters who claim to be liberals?
Not Cuckadians?
Why can’t they into insults? You have to make it flow to work.
Where will this end? Will they continue coining stupid awkward neologisms until everyone else is using browser extensions which convert them into something else?
Hey, alt-righters, you can have the following for free:
Cucktholic: a liberal Catholic.
Cuckinogen: something believed to cause people to be less than horrible.
Cuckophony: the loud chattering of non-Nazis.
Cucktus: something green with pricks on the outside, unlike a conservative think-tank.
Cucktator: an authoritarian political leader guilty of being insufficiently racist.
Cuckthroat: fiercely competitive (but not fierce enough).
Cuckmudgeon: someone grumpy about being called something cuck-related.
Cuckriculum: that which is taught (sorry, indoctrinated) in those elitist public universities (not Trump University).
Cuckstodial sentence: jail for the crime of being an SJW.
Cuckatiel: someone who parrots less-than-vile talking points.
Recucksion: see recucksion.
To our anti-credit, we tried.
Whenever the manosphere/Nazisphere talk about Justin Trudeau, it’s patently obvious that they’re jealous.
They keep telling themselves that women are hardwired to want nothing more than to be the sammich maker and blow job giver to racist, misogynistic, abusive assholes. They’re constantly being proved wrong and they’re reminded of that every time they see Justin Trudeau and remember how women all over the world love him.
I love it. Laaaaaav. I’m tempted to change my nym to incorporate it. Viscaria, Famed Cucknadian. Viscaria, Cucknadian At Large.
Edit: Apropos of nothing, my mom met Pierre Trudeau when she was 14 or 15, and he kissed the back of her hand ,and she says it was the greatest thing that had happened in her young life.
@Christine It was a near thing last election (they’re still the official opposition) – and we have many of our own home-grown proponents of anti-intellectual right-wing populism who are still trying to get Canada to go back to the ‘good ol’ days’. 😛 No reason up here for the non-alt-right to get complacent.
@numerobis No shit.
tbh in the article image, it looked like it said ‘cluck’ instead of ‘cuck’ and I don’t think I’ll ever see that supposed insult again without thinking of cuccos from LoZ. Which honestly makes cuck sound more like a compliment than anything. Nothing is more indestructible than a cucco. Except MRA egos.
But more seriously, there’s been a lot of chatter in racist circles about how we didn’t vote for these Syrian refugees and how they’re going to destroy the country like they destroy every country, and steal our wimminz and cuckcuckcuck-egg!
They start with a blatant lie (the refugee issue was a major one in the election: if Trudeau got elected to do anything at all, it was to bring in refugees), and degenerate from there. Thankfully, the party in power is making them seem like the idiots they are.
(I was going to say loons, but loons are hauntingly beautiful)
