Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word "fuck". Out of all the English words that begin with the letter 'f', fuck is the only word referred to as "the f word". It's the one magical word.  Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. "Fuck", as most words in the English language is derived from German ...the word "fuieken", which means to strike.  

In English, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories: 

  • As a transitive verb for instance: John fucked Shirley. 

*As an intransitive verb:  Shirley fucks. 

Its meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as... 

  • An adjective such as:  John's doing all the fucking work. 
  • As part of an adverb:  Shirley talks too fucking much. 
  • As an adverb enhancing an adjective:  Shirley is fucking beautiful. 
  • As a noun:  I don't give a fuck. 
  • As part of a word:  abso-fucking-lutely  or  in-fucking-credible
  • And as almost every word in a sentence:  Fuck the fucking fuckers. 

As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of fuck such as these examples describing situations such as: 

  • Fraud:  I got fucked at the used car lot. 
  • Dismay: ahhh fuck it. 
  • Trouble: I guess I'm really fucked now. 
  • Aggression: Don't fuck with me buddy. 
  • Difficulty: I don't understand this fucking question. 
  • Inquiry: Who the fuck was that? 
  • Dissatisfaction: I don't like what the fuck is going on here. 
  • Incompetence: He's a fuck-off. 
  • Dismissal:  Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself.

I'm sure you can think of many more examples. 

With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word. We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. 

It will identify the quality of your character immediately. 

Say it loudly and proudly:  FUCK YOU!

Certainly illustrates the diversity of the word…

Is this a beginner’s guide to English? :)

Again, with TWO meanings.

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago

Incredulous: I don't fucking think so.

The Polish word pierdolić “to fuck” is so versatile there exists this excellent reference resource: https://pierdology.webflow.io/

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

As usual polish and hungarian are good friends. For us fuck is "basz" or one of these many beautiful forms: Basz, baszakszik, baszd meg, baszogat, basztat, agyonbasz, elbasz, félrebasz, kibasz, rábasz, alábasz, átbasz, bebasz, belebasz, elbasz, felbasz, hazzábasz, idabasz, körbebasz, lebasz, megbasz, odabasz, összebasz, széjjelbasz, szétbasz, visszabasz, nekibasz.

Im sure that both for polish and hungarian these are bot all the forms you find in the wild.

Completism : You fucking nailed it.

Sensory : I can't see fuck.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Taste: these are fucking delicious!

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it should count if the sentence conveys the same meaning if the fuck word is removed. That eliminates half this list.

And OP hasn't included phrases that should have obviously been on the list, e.g. "that's fucked up"

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

This tastes fuckly?

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The most flexible fuckin' word in the English language!

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah, you motherfucking fuckmother!

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sound like a film a have to watch.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

You would love a director named Tarantino. Guy named Jackson often stars in his films. Check him out!

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago

so good even the French say it!

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

This guy fucks

[–] moonbasesquid@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Admiration: That's a nice fucking list.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Tried to translate them to hungarian: Sexual: Basszunk! Mischief: Baszkodok veled. Aggression: Szétbaszlak! Anger: Basszálj rá! Regret: Bassza meg! Resignation: Baszok rá! Surprise: A kibaszott lelkem! Greeting: Baszd meg, jó reggelt! Fraud: Átbasztak. Identification: Kibaszottul nem tudom ki vagy. Philosophical: Ki baszik rá? Compliment: Kibaszottul szép. Threat: Ne baszkodj velem! Realization: Baszottul igazam volt!

Most of the question ones only work with fasz which means dick: Puzzlement: Mi a fasz? Confusion: Hol a faszba vagyunk? Wonder: Az mi a fasz? Amazement: Hogy a faszba csinálta?

We actually have a lot more nuance just in a different way than english. In english fuck is usually used in a construction where it only emphasizes the action being done while in hungarian and slavic languages(at least from what i heard from my friends) the verb it self is vulgar which is much more fun.

great another fucking MAGAT

[–] WereHacker@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

English, such a diverse and beautiful language. And on top the grammar is so easy and it is even easy to spell. To bad it is so hard to recognize sarcasm in writing.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

ISMO does this with "shit".

So thankful English is my first language. What a damned nightmare of a lexicon.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -James D. Nicoll

Indignation: Give me a fucking break!
Agreement: Fuckin' A.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Philosophical should be "why should I give a fuck?"

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Was that an honest question or rhetorical? :)

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Neither, just a proposed edit to the list of fucks lol

And that can be taken TWO different ways!

[–] Kn1ghtDigital@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

I read this as a person experiencing the whole human condition in one wild moment

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

In all these instances, you could replace "fuck" with "smurf" and there is no problem.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I love Wonder.

I can never hear stuff like "they were filled with wonder" again.
