The Many Uses of the Word ****
Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "****". Out of all of the English words that begin with the letter f, **** 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.

**** as most words in the English language is derived from German, the word 'fricken' which means to strike. In English, "****" 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 ******* work). As an adverb (Mary is ******* interested in john), and as part of an adverb (Shirley talks too ******* much). As an adverb enhancing an adjective (Shirley is ******* beautiful). As a noun (I don't give a ****). As part of a word (AbsoFUCKINGlutely or inFUCKINGcredible).
It can be an action verb (John really gives a ****), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a ****), or an interjection (****! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, **** she's also stupid).
And as almost every word in the sentence (**** the ******* fuckers).

As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "****". 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)

Dismay (Ah, **** it)

Trouble (I guess I'm really fucked now)

Aggression (Don't **** with me buddy)

Difficulty (I don't understand this ******* question)

Inquiry (Who the **** was that?)

Dissatisfaction (I don't like what the **** is going on here)

Incompetence (He's a fuckoff)

Dismissal (Why don't you go outside and play hide and go **** yourself?)

Greetings (How the **** are ya?)

Confusion (What the ****....?)

Despair (Fucked again...)

Pleasure (I ******* couldn't be happier)

Disorientation (Where the **** are we?)

Disbelief (UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!)

Denial (I didn't ******* do it)

Perplexity (I know **** all about it)

Apathy (Who really gives a ****, anyhow?)

Suspicion (Who the **** are you?)

Panic (Let's get the **** out of here)

Directions (**** off)

Disbelief (How the **** did you do that?)


It can be used in an anatomical description (He's a ******* asshole)
It can be used to tell time (It's five ******* thirty)
It can be used in business (How did I wind up with this ******* job?)
It can be maternal (Motherfucker)

It has also been used by many notable people throughout history:

What the **** was that?
(Mayor of Hiroshima)

Where did all these ******* Indians come from?
(General Custer)

That's not a real ******* gun.
(John Lennon)

Who's gonna ******* find out?
(Richard Nixon)

Heads are going to ******* roll.
(Anne Boleyn)

Let the ******* woman drive.
(Commander of Space Shuttle Challenger)

What ******* map?
(Mark Thatcher)

Any ******* idiot could understand that.
(Albert Einstein)

It does so ******* look like her!
(Picasso)

How the **** did you work that out?
(Pythagoras)

You want *what* on the ******* ceiling?
(Michaelangelo)

**** a duck.
(Walt Disney)

I need this parade like I need a ******* hole in my head.
(John F. Kennedy )

Why?- Because its ******* there!
(Edmund Hilary)

I don't suppose its gonna ******* rain?
(Joan of Arc)

Where the **** is all this water coming from?
(Captain of the Titanic)

Scattered ******* showers my ***.
(Noah)

I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
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.

**** YOU!
