βινέω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Probably connected with βία (bía) (“force, violence”) and βιάζω (biázō) (“to use force”), with a vulgar or expressive formation. The etymology is uncertain, and no secure Indo-European cognates are established.

Pronunciation

 

Verb

βῑνέω • (bīnéō)

  1. (transitive or intransitive, vulgar) to have sexual intercourse with; to fuck
    (especially) of illicit or socially disapproved intercourse (LSJ); contrasted in register with ὀπυίω (opuíō), a neutral or euphemistic term.
    • Aristophanes, Frogs 740:
      ὅστις γε πίνειν οἶδε καὶ βινεῖν μόνον;
      hóstis ge pínein oîde kaì bineîn mónon?
      who knows only how to drink and fuck?
    • Aristophanes, Birds 560:
      ἵνα μὴ βινῶσ’ ἔτ’ ἐκείνας
      hína mḕ binôs’ ét’ ekeínas
      so that they might fuck them no longer
    • Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 13.52 (quoting Philetaerus):
      Οὐχὶ Λαΐς μέν τελευτῶσ’ ἀπέθανεν βινουμένη;
      Oukhì Laḯs mén teleutôs’ apéthanen binouménē?
      And did not Lais die even while being fucked?

Usage notes

  • In the active voice, typically used of a male subject.
  • In the passive voice, typically used of a female subject undergoing intercourse (LSJ).
  • Strongly non-neutral in register; frequent in Old Comedy, invective, and obscene or humorous contexts.
  • Often carries a degrading, mocking, or provocative tone rather than neutral description.
  • The verb is frequently used insultingly or performatively rather than descriptively.
