fuckedupness vs. fuckedupedness

[Mark Peters]

I first noticed “fuckedupedness” on a message board and thought the extra “ed” was interesting. According to Google, “fuckedupness” is more common, though neither is a rarity:



Google web hits for fuckedupness: 900

Google group hits for fuckedupness: 258



Google web hits for fuckedupedness: 220

Google group hits for fuckedupedness: 135



My question is about “fuckedupedness”—Does the extra “ed” provide anything like the intensification infixes usually do, and if not, what is it doing there? Is it like the “ma” in Homer Simpson’s “edumacation”? Can you think of any similar infix examples?



I appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, or references. Just for the record, I think "fuckedupedness" is more fun.
