Breakdown of an english word

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word “fuck.” It is the one magical word, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. Fuck, as most words in the English language, takes its name from the German word “fricken,” which means “to strike.”

“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 can be an active verb (John really fucks up) or a passive verb (Mary doesn’t really give a fuck), an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), and a noun (Mary is a fine fuck).

It can be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful).

As you can see, there are not many words with the versatility of “fuck.”

Besides its sexual connotation, this lovely word can be used to describe many situations:

Fraud: I got fucked at the used car lot
Dismay : Oh, fuck it!
Trouble: I guess I’m fucked now.
Aggression: Fuck you!
Passive: Fuck me
Confusion: What the fuck?
Difficulty: I can’t understand this fucking business.
Despair: Fucked again.
Apathy: Who gives a fuck.
Incompetence: He’s all fucked up!
Laziness: He’s a lazy fuck
Displeasure: What the fuck is going on here?
Ignorance: Fucked if I know.
Defiance: The fuck you can!
Lost: Where the fuck are we?
Authority: Shut the fuck up.

It can be used in descriptive anatomy – He’s really a fucking asshole.
It can be used to tell time – It’s five fucking thirty.
It can be used in business – How did I get this fucking job?
It can be a prediction – Oh, will I get fucked.
It can be maternal – as in “Mother Fucker.”
It can be nautical – Fuck the Admiral.
It can be political – Fuck Bush.
It can open the door to wonderful relationships – “Let’s fuck.”
It can be used just to enhance the meaning of a word – as in “Fanfuckingtasticā€ or “FuckinA.” The mind fairly boggles at the many creative uses. How can anyone be offended when you say “Fuck”?
