When and where did the tern "whacked" come from?

As the title says lol.Just something I thought about when I was watching Goodfellas last night.

Whacked is a real word, it's in the dictionary. It means to hit or smack something hard. So I could see why mobsters would use the word to describe killing.

Seems like a thread created out of boredom, but it's a legit question. Back in the old days of the classic gangsters, you have terms like:

Rubbed Out
Bumped Off
Knocked Off
maybe even Burned

But when did Whack come in? I'm gonna guess the 60's or 70's.

Well, when a man likes a woman very much, but he's butt ugly with no personality, he sometimes takes matters into his own hands.

The term probably originated when the first cave lady claimed to have a headache.

Its much better than saying " kill" which means only one thing. Whereas the words whack and clip can be defensible in a court of law.
" when i said whack em, i meant smack em".

Is that why those guys palms were so hairy?

Very possible.

You guys are funny. I think you guys think you are on the Whack Off thread. I personally like the phrase "Outta Whack" much more than just "whack" itself.

Funny how?

(You made that one too easy, AG!)

Damn you got me on that one. +1


You're about as funny as a Geico commercial ha ha ha ha I'm bustin you

Edit: added more sass

Here's proof that Wilma and Betty took care of their men...

Obviously by posting on a website dedicated MOSTLY to mafia related topics, I meant "whacked" as in killed.
