Fuck you! when used with my fucking maniacal eyes still fucking scares the fuck out of fucking idiots.

My friends told me recently that I curse too much. So I'm stopping with it.
It's pretty hard sometimes, though.

an old dormmate of mine substituted "fuck" for every possible part of speech: noun, verb, modifier, or all of the above. Trying to open a jammed drawer one day he pulled and pulled and pulled, then stopped, out of breath, and said, "fuck! the fucking fucker won't fuck!"

Lenny Bruce, generally considered the most offensive comic of his time, said "Once you say a word enough times, it ceases to be dirty" and he was exactly right. Fuck, as well as most (all?) of George Carlin's "7 dirty words", are so commonplace in American society and culture that to levy a conversational taboo upon them is not just impractical, it's hypocritical. Words are just that, words - and the specific words in question have come to mean a lot more than just their original definition. Sure, the intended subjects may still be uncomfortable for general discussion, but the phrases themselves are now standard slang.

With the sun beginning to rise, the cabin of the jetliner was suddenly illuminated. "Who turned on the fucking lights?" a male passenger, who had been surly since boarding, snarled at a stewardess. The girl had had enough of this particular character."These are the breakfast lights, sir," she answered with forced sweetness. "The fucking lights are much dimmer, and you snored right through them."

I was in a New Age self help seminar thing once and the woman said that using fuck as an expletive was sexualizing your anger. Uh, yeah. So fucking what?

My best friend's favorite f-word is "fuckstick." I adore it, especially since she's such a pretty, delicate southern bell. She always uses it in the context of name-calling, and she emphasizes the hard CKs perfectly. It never fails to shut the intended victim down for at least a moment or two.

oh no, no, this is simply mr. fucktastic. brother (it's more aggressive) than it's sister, ms. shittastic. words are simply upgraded in intensity as time goes by, and fuck is just another case.

Fuck certainly has lost its vigo[u]r. It used to curl the toes of the right people when you needed to curl their toes. Now no one give a flying fuck if you say it. My dear old mother, a retired schoolteacher, has no qualms about saying 'fuck' when it suits her.

But we need such words. So what's the new 'fuck'? The word that shocks but doesn't get you kicked out of the club? Is 'cunt' it? Will we now use 'cunt' until it's worn out, until it's just another 'cuntity-cunt-cunt' (or something easier to pronounce)?

Or have I just been kicked out of the club?

As a child, I never really heard the word by itself; I heard it as Mother Fucker. When I asked my mother what it meant, she said it was a very bad thing; a mother fucker has sex with his mother.

I thought: oh, cool. So to fuck is to have sex? Neat. I knew something that the other kids didn't know.

Flash forward to an uninvited call from some jerk with a bad reputation at school demanding that I give him my best friend's phone number. When I refused, he yelled, "Fuck you, then!"

Smug, thinking he was using a word he didn't even understand, thinking that he was in the dark about the meaning as I was a few weeks previous, I told him, "Ha! You probably don't even know the meaning of the word."

"What are you talking about?!"

"Fuck," I clarified rather snottily. "When you said to fuck me."

He snorted a laugh and shouted, "Well I sure as hell wouldn't want to fuck you!" ...then he slammed down the phone.

I blinked for a while, before I realized the insult. All I could do at that point was to look at the dead receiver with a sigh and say, "Aw fuck."

so these three guys go to a Come as Your Favorite Emotion party [trust me, this is relevant]. The host opens the door. One of them is painted entirely green.

The host says "what are you supposed to me?"

The guy replies "Me? I'm fucking envy."

The second man enters the room painted completely red.

The host says "And you?"

The red gentleman responds "I'm fucking anger" He steps in, and the third man walks in, completely naked with a piece of fruit on the end of his fully erect penis.

The host is a bit taken aback and says "You know you are supposed to come as your favorite emotion, right"

"Yeah sure, I'm fucking dis pear."

f**k is international. I find it quite amusing every time I get visitors from Germany who find it pretty cool to curse in English. And because f**k for them is just a sound, it scares the living daylights out of bystanders (even here in New York) when it just pops out of an otherwise peaceful sounding German sentence. I tried to explain to several friends German that f*** is not just like any other word. They don’t give a ....

this is the perfect time for this. just last weekend, my family was gathered together at the event of my grandmother's funeral. i was sitting in her living room with my mother and brother, holding court on some topic or another - specifics have escaped me now - when suddenly, out of my mouth comes "I can't fucking believe that!" the F-word was halfway out when i realised my mother was in the room and thought better of it, but what could i do? i just barreled on, tried to look normal, and hoped for the best. i was expecting some reaction, but nothing. i guess, at 28, i am finally a grown-up.

Its a naughty word that slips from my mouth all too much. But not in front of the parental units. Even at my extended age, naughty words in front of my mom are rare. She even looks at me strange if i say 'goddamn'.

But there was that one time. Its about 4pm. I, and half a dozen classmates, have been awake since 8am the previous day (coding a word processor in turbo pascal). My mom pages me in the comp labs and tells me she will be there with some food for me. Ahh mom, that is nice. She arrives and i see she has two buckets of KFC, some boxes of fries and a couple of 2 litre Cokes. "I figgered your friends would be hungry too..." I looked at the food with a big grin and a "fuck. mom, you didn't have to do this." She just pursed her lips and i blushed. First and only time.

But it was on the tip of my tongue when she sold 250 of my rare LPs for 10c a piece at a garage sale.

'fuck' is just one of those words that, in a simple, concise, snappy syllable, manages to convey just about any emotion, depending on your tone of voice. frustration, amazement, anger, lust, disbelief, bewilderment... it's all there. all with 'fuck'. just with 'fuck'.

fucking right that the context of 'fuck' should be fucking changed to fucking reflect the fucking *depth* of the fucking word! fuck yeah!

Back in high school, in a particularly giddy mood, I took a friend to task for his misuse of the word. (I wish I remember now quite what he had said) If he was going to say fuck, he should at least use it properly. It could be used as an adjective this way, as a noun that way... etc. What I didn't know, and what my friends were laughing too hard to tell me, was that my English teacher was about 3 feet behind me at the time. She eventually passed us, smiling, and I just died.

I was one of her favorite students from then on.

My very favorite experience with the word fuck was with a particular friend who used to let fly with long strings of profanities while in heavy traffic. He'd actually go so far as to break down the meaning of each and every profanity, as such: "Goddamn fuck face! That's right - you fuck faces, with your fucker, fuck face!" "You motherfucker! Yes, you do fuck mothers, don't you. You probably fuck your own mother in the face with your fucker because you're a motherfucking fuck face." He would actually look at people in other cars, eye to eye, and say these things. I would simply revell in the juvinality of it all.
I like the term F-bomb as well. "Yep, my boss got me so pissed in the last meeting that I dropped the F-bomb on him a few times."

Demian <bovineinversusAThotmail.com>

Listen to it - fuck. it's so nice, it's brief, to the point, sharply inflected and just rolls off the tongue. i think it's a lovely word, in a way. of course, when it's flung at you it doesn't feel so great, but neither do water balloons, and *boy* are they fun to throw.
Just be nice children and don't throw it *at* people, but *with* them.
krissa <ccavouraATslc.edu>

Being the primordial 'good girl', I find saying 'fuck' a bit naughty, a bit like a tongue stuck out to social morays and appropriate behavior. The flinging of the word from my lips never ceases to evoke a gasp of shock from all within ear shot. What power.

When I was nine, I read the Dutch equivalent of 'fucking' on a movie theatre chair. I asked my friends what it meant. They all started giggling. A few days later at my aunt's, I asked my mother: 'Mum, what does 'fucking' mean?' You see, I knew all the big words: 'Copulate, ejaculate, erection, intercourse', from the books I read, but I didn't know any 'dirty' words. Neither my mum, nor my aunt showed any signs of distress. They just smiled and my mum said: 'It's just a slang word for when people mate.' 'Oh,' I said, satisfied, as it were, with the answer. My mum, bless her, was a classy woman.

we were having a meeting with one of our clients, who were a quite conservative lot (most asian companies are).

us, being a relative small design house, were quite straight forward in what we want to say. that morning before our meeting, we remind ourselves to specificaly refrain from saying anything "non-conservative" because we wanted to bag the project.

5 minutes later in our meeting, everybody was "comfy" with each other, and our client said something about his dislike about certain designers he came across in the past.

my boss, being too comfy, blurted out: "ah yes, real wankers aren't they?!"

client:"huh? wankers"

my boss: "you know, wankers?" and started doing a sign language similar to the meaning of a wanker.

client: *blushing*

me and my other team mate: blushing + nudging my boss to stfu.

My four year-old godson Nathan likes to run around the house singing a song of his own invention that goes something like: "Shit shit fuck, fuck shit fuck, fuck fuck shit, fuck fuck shit."

Long ago, when I was but a wee child, I awoke one morning to find my lower eyelid swollen and painful. I wandered out to my older brother -- my font of knowledge -- as he watched Saturday morning cartoons and told him that "sumtin is wong wif my eye." He announced that I had a boner and should ask my mother about it. I promptly padded downstairs, looked at my mother and said "I have a boner!" She stared at me wide eyed, breakfast sizzling on the stove as I repeated "In my eye! I have a boner!" Needless to say, my foul mouth was born that day and hasn't ceased in producing unimaginable strings of expletives since.

During a couple stretches at an old job, an unbroken string of long days would cause our language to grow increasingly salty, especially after dusk, when exhaustion would set in. We'd be so giddy, brain-dead and frustrated (and largely unproductive), and our inter-cube communication was often reduced to a slurred torrent of "cocksucking Netscape bullshit," "Can't you fucking kick it, you bitch?" and "motherfucking printer jam whore!"

The hard part was when we eventually had to gear down for the occasional meeting with non-obscene suits. Inevitably at one point or another, a totally unintentional "cocksucker" would come flying out of someone's mouth, greeted with the brief, stony silence usually reserved for a moist fart.

I'm waiting for it to slip into inconsequentiality. Ever since I found out that "Roger" used to be a verb of similar function, I've been itching to name my first born "Fuck". It's only a matter of time before all epithets degenerate into common names...
"Shit! Great to see you!"
"Fuck! No way! I thought you were in Vegas with Asshole?"
"No, I broke up with Asshole. I'm seeing Motherfucker now, he's soooo sweet!"
Bill <geeketteATsympatico.ca>

I miss the times when that word was something to be relished and used sparingly...like...saffron.
You'd only hear it in situations where no other word could possibly do. This was back in the day when people were a little more articulate.
My disaffection with the word came when from 1997 to 2000 i worked in a concert venue that featured a lot of "alternative" and punk bands. I got to the point where I could pretty much predict what I would hear for most of the night, beginning with: "Fuckin' Las Vega-a-a-s!!!" The evening would be punctuated at various times with "Make some fuckin' noise!!" (which was particularly sad and pointless when the band failed to draw an audience of more than, say 200 in a hall meant to hole almost 1,000).
A car was a "fuckin' car". A beer was a "fuckin' beer", et cetera, ad nauseaum.
It just got boring and I began to grieve for the death of a very cool word.
In my opinion, the word is still an obscenity, but it's kind of like a dried-up dog turd: even though it's no longer fresh and steaming and stinking to high heaven, it's still, nonetheless, a turd.
(For the record, in public--especially around people i don't know--i tend to use the word "bloody". in my blog-thing, if no other word will do, or if i need a particular effect, i'll write "f***".
If I'm really angry and "What the hell?!" won't do...only then are all bets are off.)

With about 40 cousins, 35 of which are younger than I ... that word has been tossed about like a common playword. I can tell you at what age each of them has said it for the first time. But, it's been overused ... my new favourite is "bloodyfrigginstoopit". Doesn't quite have the same oomph as fuck but it works for now.
