Others have translated so I'll restrict myself to giving some context.

It's based on the French expression enculer les mouches, "buttfucking the flies".

Basically it refers to the idea of making a lot of effort for a very low reward and of being overly precise on details while missing the whole point of what you're doing.

You generally use it when misunderstanding, chicanery, and arguments prevent the the progress of a discussion or other concerted effort. "We're not advancing at all, we're only buttfucking flies!"

A close English equivalent would be "to split hairs", although the French one is kinda more expressive of your anger at the situation by its vulgarity.

Now, that said, I still don't really know what's going on. My guess is it comes from a humoristic list of different kinds of naggers.

Equally as disturbing, what's up with the crotch of his underwear? Looks like skidmarks.

[–]cinereoargenteus 4 points5 points ago

I noticed that before I realized he was fucking a fly.

[–]wisdumb 4 points5 points ago

I like the shit stains in the guy's underwear. Excellent attention to detail.

[–]no1_vern 1 point2 points ago

Needs something to ATTRACT the flies to him so he can, you know, buggerer them.

[–]pablito_andorra 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

translation :

The Mouse Buggerer
The most fearsome contamination agent, because it´s the most active.
100 flies sodomized per day
10000 tainted sandwiches

(Like with the fox, carrier of rabies, are we going to have to exterminate the fly buggerer?)

end translation

As for what's going on, I have no idea

[–]nopopoplz 0 points1 point ago

Enculer can also mean "to fuck", and mouche means fly, so it's Fly Fucker

[–]Goyyou 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

"Enculer" != "to fuck", it's "to fuck in the ass". That's why there's "cul" in "enculer".

[–]martinj -2 points-1 points ago

Remarkably vulgar and probably (remotely) based on a french expression: "Enculer les mouches" that could be roughly translated into "Fucking the flies" and means slacking/not working when you should.

I must leave this planet now, my real people need me, beyond the stars.

[–]rasputine 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

'encouler les mouches' i not the same as slacking off, it means nitpicking or splitting hairs. A fly fucker then is someone who wastes time on insignificantly small details.

It looks like something from Hara-Kiri, a french satirical magazine from the 70s, known for its trash humour. Have a look at Google Image's result for Hara Kiri for other WTF images (and some almost NSFL).

Let me get this straight, you want a picture of me posing with my dad so I can prove to you he's the guy fucking a fly. Sure, what's your email?

[–]beyron 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well if you aren't going to provide proof for such a coincidence then why bother posting it?
