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.

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

When and where did the tern "whacked" come from?
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. Is that why those guys palms were so hairy? Very possible.

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