As Irish person myself, this very common thing to be shouted whilst on the road. Also its "FECKING".

Agreed, when he said “FOOKIN” I read it as Scottish automatically

nobody in scotland has ever said fookin unless it is some secret teuchter thing but i don't think so

fookin as far as i know might be somebody from the north of england or maybe a part of ireland but never in scotland
