The History of the F word

Of all the words in the English language, one of the most useful and yet most controversial is the word FUCK.

Strangely,
there are hundreds and even thousands of words in the English
dictionary, and yet FUCK is the only word that is referred to as the
"F" word. It truly is a very magical word, because not all words can
mean two very opposite things at the same time. The word FUCK can
actually connote both pleasure and pain, or both love and hate at the
same time, and in rare occasions, even in the same sentence!

Unknown
to many, the word FUCK is actually a German derivative of the word
"Frichen", which means "to strike"… The exact date or age when this
word was fully corrupted into the English language is unknown, but we
can all assume that, in the early beginnings of the word, it was used
to connote sexual intercourse between two people. However, it can be
noted that FUCK is the only word that can be used in the most parts of
speech known to man, especially in modern times.

If used as a transitive verb: "Adam FUCKS Eve."
If used as an intransitive verb: "Eve FUCKS."
If used as a noun: "Stay away, FUCKER!"
If used as an adjective: "Ryan’s doing all the FUCKING work!"
If used as an adverb for a verb: "I’m trying to FUCKING sleep!"
If used as an adverb for an adjective: "Eve is FUCKING beautiful!"
It
can even be a different part of a speech, all in one sentence! Take for
instance the sentence:"FUCK off, you FUCKING FUCKED FUCKERS!"

Yet
one the most amazing applications is to modify a word by inserting it
into the word itself, giving stress and importance a million times
over, like for example, the words: "abso-FUCKING-lutely!" or
"in-FUCKING-credible!"

The word FUCK is definitely a word of so
many uses. Strangely, even saying only the word "FUCK!" is already a
complete sentence in itself, though it is not advisable because just
saying that one word, due to its many applications, is quite vague in
terms of its meaning because it can connote many things.

It can
mean dishonesty (The insurance company FUCKED me.), it can mean
difficulty (I don’t understand this FUCKING question!), it can mean
aggression (Don’t FUCK with me, buddy!), it can mean trouble (Oh, I’m
so FUCKED now.), it can mean incompetence (My teacher’s a FUCKER!), or
it can mean dismissal (Go FUCK yourself!). You can fill in more
meanings by yourself.

Lately though, we see it constantly being
used with the pronoun "YOU". When both are used, it is already a
complete sentence in itself. It can mean a lot of things depending on
the situation. If somebody told you that you’re ugly and you reply by
shouting "FUCK YOU!" with a smile, it can mean that you agree with
him, but saying it with a frown and a raised fist can mean aggression.
If somebody proposed his/her love to you, and you frown and say "FUCK
YOU!", it connotes disbelief. If you reply an "I love you" with a
smiling "FUCK YOU!", it’s already as good as "I love you too!"

The
power of the word FUCK even transcends racial and class boundaries,
because you can use it on anyone regardless of race, color, gender or
orientation. Just one use of the word FUCK and everybody will
automatically know what kind of person you are and how you were raised.

With
all this said, let us not be afraid of the "F" word. Not many words
exist with the same tenacity and the same power. Therefore, we must
shine in pride, as the existence of the word FUCK simply means that we
are near to perfecting our language and human communication in general.

Thank
you for orienting yourself with this magical word, and if you have
reached this far in reading, with a smile I would like to say "FUCK
YOU!!!"
