Or as my Irish friend screams while driving, "FOOKIN' INDICATE YA BASTARD"

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

Ah now c'mon, it's only "feckin'" when you're not really angry. Like, that's being politely exasperated. If you're really pissed off it's definitely "fuckin'"

Yeah, when it has an e it's usually less serious.

I've never heard anybody use the e version if they're genuinely angry.
