I am native german, guess you meant "futschi" which is correct "futsch" (pronounced a bit like "foodge&quot
It means "lost" fe: I lost my money, My money was "futsch" or "futschi"

Hope this helps a bit

Hmm. I can think of a couple of words that sound close to what you wrote. Have you any idea as to the true spelling?
If it is what I fear it is is, I will not repeat or define it here.

I believe a German politico recently accused a British politician of "playing footsie, " which means "to cooperate or curry favor in a sly or devious way".
Which would be insulting but the word "Footsie" ,itself , is not really an insult. IMO

although the spelling isn't exactly correct, I would assume that jonldn is referring to a seriously derogatory description of the female anatomy.
I'd be rather unwilling to post the correct spelling in public here... ;-)!

P.S.: The relevant term may also be employed to insult a person by naming him or her (in particular) accordingly.
