The Many Uses of the Word Fuck

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck". Out of all of the English words that begin with the letter f, fuck is the only word that is referred to as the 'f-word'. It's the one magical word, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.

Fuck as most words in the English language is derived from German, the word 'fricken' which means to strike. In English, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John).
It's meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as an adjective such as (John's doing all the fucking work). As an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in john), and as part of an adverb (Shirley talks too fucking much). As an adverb enhancing an adjective (Shirley is fucking beautiful). As a noun (I don't give a fuck). As part of a word (AbsoFUCKINGlutely or inFUCKINGcredible).
It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), or an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid).
And as almost every word in the sentence (Fuck the fucking fuckers).

As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "fuck". Aside from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations and feelings:

Fraud (I got fucked at the used car lot)

With all of these multipurpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word?
We say, use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and PROUDLY.

FUCK YOU!
