There's at least one attestable sense, but it isn't on the page at the moment. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:22, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Found two cites. -Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 07:07, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know whether this counts, and if it does, how to go about formatting the citation, but it appears with that sense in the title of a series of films: [[1]] and a song called Fuckabilly Boogie. Kiwima (talk) 06:09, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Some libraries keep copies of commercially-released cinematic films, so we've tended to consider them durably archived (along with songs commercially released on CDs or vinyl or other physical media) ... but I don't know if they keep pornographic films, so I don't know if those films count as durably archived. I'm also not convinced that the films are using the musical sense of the word.
In some citations, it seems to be an insulting term for a person (perhaps a combination of "fuck" and "hillbilly"?), e.g. on Usenet someone says "You really are spanked hard, aren't you, fuckabilly?" and "I'm voting for Fuckabilly. It's what the Dems need to perminently[sic] destroy the GOP in Merka". And on Google Books:

  • 2016, Dee Carney, Hunger Untamed →ISBN:
    The phone rang twice in his ear before the call connected. Cicero's cultured voice came on. "Gave the job to someone else." "Yeah, fuckabilly. Hello to you, too."

This might be the general insult:

  • 2014 January 17, joebr...@gmail.com, Re: Studies:Secondhand Smoke Not a Significant Health Threat, in alt.atheism, Usenet:
    Your real name is Pussy F Fuckabilly. Yep, I think you are a fag. Read the link, stupid asshole. Fuck you. Go fuck yourself, you looney bitch.

Or, it might be a gay sense, like this is suggested to be:

  • 1983, Winston Leyland, My Deep Dark Pain is Love: A Collection, page 303
    It was the epic poem "In Praise of Fuckabilly Butt," an ode to homosexuality written by Jack Fritscher and published in the magazine Skin. A magazine freely sold on newsstands in the United States, Skin is devoted to the cult of the male body []

It also seems to be a general term for "fucking around" (noun), as in:

  • 2003 November 17, gair rhydd: Cardiff's student weekly, issue 750, page 26, television review:
    19.00 Children in Need Inane tedious bugger-for-nothing scroungers being thoroughly un-hilarious. Although it's for a good cause, so that makes all this fuckabilly acceptable.

And here, "as all fuckabilly" seems like it means "as all get-out", although given the musical context I suppose this could also be read as supporting the sense in question:

  • 2003 October 4, Doug Boucher, What's in your...(Hi, Everybody!) :-), in alt.music.mike-keneally:
    His voice might make some people run away screaming, he's twangy as all fuckabilly, but I dig the heck out of him.

RFV-failed, because no one sense (except possibly the odd insulting sense?) has enough citations, and the senses are too different to be combined (a musical genre, "fucking around", an insult for a person, and some gay sense). - -sche (discuss) 01:54, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
