Fuck



I thought I'd do a few posts with one word titles.

So.

This one is "Fuck".

Probably what Roccie is saying because this will be my second post in a week.

Revival of a blog?

I think not, just opportunity lol.

Here, let me share a little history on the word Fuck:
Fuck is an English word that is generally considered profane which, in its most literal meaning, refers to the act of sexual intercourse. However, by extension it may be used to negatively characterize anything that can be dismissed, disdained, defiled, or destroyed.

"Fuck" can be used as a verb, adverb, adjective, command, interjection, noun, and can logically be used as virtually any word in a sentence (e.g., "Fuck the fucking fuckers"). Moreover, it is one of the few words in the English language that can be applied as an infix (e.g., "Absofuckinglutely!"; "Bullfuckingshit!"). It has various metaphorical meanings. The verb "to be fucked" can mean "to be cheated" (e.g., "I got fucked by a scam artist"), or alternatively, to be sexually penetrated. As a noun "a fuck" or "a fucker" may describe a contemptible person.

"A fuck" may mean an act of copulation.

The word can be used as an interjection, and its participle is sometimes used as a strong emphatic. The verb to fuck may be used transitively or intransitively, and it appears in compounds, including fuck off, fuck up, fuck you, and fuck with. In less explicit usages (but still regarded as vulgar), fuck or fuck with can mean to mess around, or to deal with unfairly or harshly. In a phrase such as "don't give a fuck", the word is the equivalent of "damn", in the sense of something having little value. In "what the fuck?!", it serves merely as an intensive.

If something is very abnormal or annoying "this is fucked up!" may be said.

There is actually quite a bit of history on the word, including the first time it was used, around 1500. But that's enough. Otherwise you may be thinking "Fuck! this blog post is long".

Fuck is a great word. You can use it in good, bad, sad, happy, just about any situation.

I've been a bit of a potty mouth this week. It happens. I go through ebbs and tides. Next week I'll be back to trying to be better. This week however, Fuck has been my word of choice.

So, now you have your curse word education for the week. Enjoy the versatility that is 'Fuck'. Go forth, exclaim and profane.

  2. Oh the joy of fuck. What a multi purposed word, eager to serve us in so many ways.

    I think I might print thie post out and take it up to a local Apple shop to see if anyone would be willing to act out some of the many uses of fuck.

    Fuck, I can't do that, can I?
