The F Word


IN THE VERNACULAR

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English
language today is the word "fuck".  It is the one magical word which,
just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate.

In the English language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories.
It can be used as a verb, both transitive (Julian fucked Mary) and
intransitive (Mary was fucked by Julian). It can be an action verb (Julian
really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), an 
adverb (Mary is fucking interested in Julian) or as a noun (Mary is a terrific
fuck). It can also be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful) 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).  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:

1. Greetings    	"How the fuck are ya?"
2. Fraud            	"I got fucked by the car dealer."
3. Resignation      	"Oh, fuck it!"
