                                * * *

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words today is the word
"fuck".

It is the one magical word which just by its sound can describe pain,
pleasure, love, and hate.

                                * * *

In language, "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 action verb "John really gives a fuck"

a passive verb "Mary really doesn't give a fuck"

an adverb "Mary is fucking interested in John"

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!"

4. Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."

5. Aggression "FUCK YOU!"

19. Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"

20. Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."
