A WORD FOR ALL SEASONS





FUCK: Our most versatile word. By its stress and inflections, it can
describe emotions; no other word can be used with so many
grammatical nuances. It can be used as a noun ("don't give a fuck"),
as an adjective ("it's a fucking beauty"), as a verb in its intransitive
form ("the game was fucked up by the weather"), and in its transitive
form ("he well and truly fucked it up"), in the past tense ("I was
fucked"), in the present tense (" I am fucked"), and in the future
tense ("I'll be fucked").

The word has been used by some very notable people
throughout history, the better known being:




What the fuck was that?! THE MAYOR OF HIROSHIMA


Look at all those fucking Indians! GENERAL CUSTER


Where the fuck is all that water coming from?!
