Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word "fuck".
Of all the English words beginning with f, "fuck" is the single one referred to as the "f-word". It's the one magical word: just by its sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.
"Fuck", as most of the other words in English, has arrived from Germany. "Fuck" from German's "fliechen" which means "to strike". In the English language, "fuck" folds into many grammatical categories.
As a transitive verb, for instance:
"John fucked Shirley."
As an intransitive verb:
"Shirley fucks."
Its meaning isn't always sexual: it can be used as an adjective, as in:
"John's doing all the fucking work."
As a 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 a part of a word:
"Abso-fucking-lutely"
or:
"In-fucking-credible"
Or as almost every word in a sentence:
"Fuck the fucking fuckers!"
As you must realize, there aren't many words with the versatility of the word fuck.
These examples show it used as a synonym the following words;
- fraud: "I got fucked."
- trouble: "I guess I'm really fucked now."
- dismay: "Oh, fuck it!"
- aggression: "Don't fuck with me, buddy!"

- inquiry: "Who the fuck was that?"
- dissatisfaction: "I don't like what the fuck is going on here"

I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
With all these multipurpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word?
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!"
