Default Re: How the word f*ck has become important

I agree with Mike. These are just words. This particular one is actually pretty damn, oops, darn valuable for expression in the English language. Does it have to be available to all situations for it to become "acceptable". Of course not. If that were to happen it would lose its "cachet".

There not many other single words that can express as succinctly the feelings that Negar wanted to express and did express with that one word.

Here is a list of what fuck can do. The list is not mine. I can't recall where I got it from. And when we use this valuable little word, it carries no sexual meaning. If it actually did, I'd probably use it more than I do.

Quote:

Aside from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be to describe many situations:

1. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
2. Fraud "I got fucked by the car dealer."
3. Resignation "Oh, fuck it!"
4. Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."
5. Aggression "FUCK YOU!"
6. Disgust "Fuck me."
7. Confusion "What the fuck...?"
8. Difficulty "I don't understand this fucking business!"
9. Despair "Fucked again...."
10. Pleasure "I fucking couldn't be happier."
11. Displeasure "What the fuck is going on here?"
12. Lost "Where the fuck are we?"
13. Disbelief "UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!"
14. Retaliation "Up your fucking ass!"
15. Denial "I didn't fucking do it."
16. Perplexity "I know fuck all about it."
17. Apathy "Who really gives a fuck, anyhow?"
18. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
19. Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"
20. Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."
21. Directions "Fuck off."
22. Disbelief "How the fuck did you do that?"
