Anybody can submit any word or made-up word they like to Urban Dictionary, and give it whatever new "meaning" they want.
Whoever submitted this "word" even misspelled the word it's supposed to define.
So yeah, not outraged over the fact this kid's initials spell out FAP. Now if I start hearing people saying it (which I doubt I will) I might change my mind.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Oh, it's definitely a thing on the Internet. It was created on Reddit I'm pretty sure. If you're a heavy user of the Internet, you'll come across it sooner rather than later.

Fap is a very common internet slang word. It's not just one of those urban dictionary random things.
ETA: if you were around Reddit during the rage comics phase you'd definitely hear it a lot.

Nope, it’s definitely a universal euphemism that’s been all over the internet and back. You must have just missed it.
The good news is, I think it’s going to be a slang term that explodes and then dies just as quickly, like “cowabunga”, and not one that sticks around for an annoyingly long time like “bling”.

It’s not uncommon. It’s actually in the Oxford dictionary.

Kids are going to be far more familiar with the word than adults.

Well unless you're hanging around teenagers/early-to-mid-20s dudes who are very comfortable around you, you probably wouldn't hear it. But it's a common term in the US among young men lol. I've heard it quite a bit.

Yep.
I know my husband knows it as well. Apparently it's mostly used on the internet and by young adults. I'm definitely familiar with it from the internet, I haven't really heard it IRL. Read it plenty of places though.

That is true. I work with men in their 20's, and that's where I heard it.

No, I just thought it was funny how you worded that.

Oh yeah lol. It sorta came across like I was trying to talk in scholarly way about the usage and demographics of the word "fap". I hope some Soc major has written a paper on "fap" and "fapping" lol
