FUCK - Our most versatile word. By it's stress and intonation it can describe many
emotions and no other word can be used in such varied categories. It can be used as
a noun (I don't give a fuck) as an adjective (It's a fucking beauty) and as a verb in
it's transactive form (The game was fucked up by the weather) and intransitive (He
well and truly fucked it up) as well as in its normal form (I fucked her good and
hard).
Everyday expressions show it's true versatility:
Perplexity - I'll do it my fucking self
Denial - I know fuck all about it
Apathy - Who gives a fuck
Admission - I fucking did it
Greeting - How the fuck are you
Fraud - I got well fucked over that deal
Resignation - Oh fuck it
Difficulty - That's fucked it
Disdain - Fuck off
Bewilderment - Who can fucking understand that?
Derision - He fucks everything up
Dismissal - Up your fucking arse
Challenge - Who do you think you fucking are?
Command - Do it your fucking self
Query - Who the fuck did that?
