I beg to differ. Linguistically, "fuck" has a lot to offer: Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word FUCK. It is the one magical word which just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. FUCK, as many words in the English language takes its name from the German word FRIKEN In the English language FUCK falls into many grammatical categories It can be used as a transitive verb (John FUCKED Mary) and intransitive (Mary was FUCKED by John). It can be an active verb (John really gives a FUCK), or a passive verb (Mary doesn't give a FUCK) as an adverb (Mary is FUCKING interested in John) and as a noun (Mary is a fine FUCK). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is a FUCKING beauty). As you can see there are not many words with the versatility of FUCK. Besides its sexual connotations, this lovely word can be used to describe many situations. FRAUD: I got FUCKED by my insurance agent DISMAY: Oh, FUCK it TROUBLE: I guess I'm FUCKED now AGGRESSION: FUCK you PASSIVE: FUCK me CONFUSION: What the FUCK ? DIFFICULTY: I can't understand this FUCKING business DISPAIR: FUCKED again PHILOSOPHICAL: Who gives a FUCK ? INCOMPETENCE: He's FUCKED up LAZINESS: He's a FUCK off DISPLEASURE: What the FUCK is going on ? REBELLION: Oh, FUCK it The word FUCK can be useful in descriptive anatomy -- He's really a FUCKING asshole. It can be used to tell time -- It's five FUCKING thirty It can be used in business -- How did I get this FUCKING job It can be a prediction -- Oh, will I get FUCKED It can be maternal -- As in MOTHERFUCKER It can be nautical -- FUCK the admiral It can open the door to wonderful relationships -- let's FUCK It can be Political -- FUCK Bush The mind fairly boggles at the many more creative uses of this most FUCKTUAL word. How can anyone be offended when you say FUCK? Use it in your daily speech -- It adds prestige. Have a nice FUCKING day!
