the F bomb: had enough or let it fly

[ryank]

i think i've had it with the word that rhymes with phuck. i guess it was cool around the time of andrew dice clay, but now it's overkill. It has become too much a part of the language. I mean, you can use the word as an adjective, verb or noun, and some people have trouble talking without using it. Although, i have to admit, that my friend's cursing parrot was among the funniest things i've ever heard and seen. I'm bringing this up because i've been watching alot of movies lately (i got the movie pass), and it's reediculous. It does have a nice ring to it, but i think it has lost it's zing, and i'd prefer to hear people get more creative. I've decided to try to not say it. This one guy on the price is right said "i just want that "f***ing" car. Well, Bob shook his head, and said i feel sorry for you. I also remember Slash saying it at an awards show, and peter gabriel looked disgusted. Okay, that's enough ramble. Do you use the word and like to hear it or do you think the F bomb should be used less.

oh yeah, one more thing. > Where did the word come from?

[GuitarPLYR]

There's a time and a place for everything, including the "F" word. However, in interviews, award shows and just in public in general, it's tasteless and classless. Nobody has any respect anymore. I hear people talking like that regardless of who they speak with, including their own parents. It makes me sick. I was raised with more respect for other people and more respect for myself than that. Of course most of todays music has so much cursing in it that younger people don't even realize that they are disrespectful words.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

We should adopt the British term "Bloody". Ya bloody wanker you!

[bigdaddysmak]

I have an Australian friend on my message board. He uses that term alot.

[RockinRob1970]

There is a red-neck song about the eff word..

"Pleased to meet you sir, how the F are you today?"

Yeah, I agree but I slip sometimes. Immagine if people acutally did it every time they said the word? There world would be more over populated.

[bigdaddysmak]

Yeah I slip too. Usually when I'm being pissy........

[MrBungle]

marvelous word, yessir, I tell ya what. It echoes with distinct clarity, straight to the punch and no nonsense whatsoever. Quite versatile, might I add, as an adjective, a verb, a noun, an adverb, an interjection, a question...the uses are endless!

Ron Popeill thought of that word, yessir...had to be.

[love2sing]

It certainly is a word that can clarify any situation! What can I say?


Men don't want you to say it in front of their mom's, but they love to hear it in the bedroom!

Therefore, I try to use it appropriately. Unfortunately, I haven't had any good reason to say it lately. :(

[sarcastic1]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......................

[Doorman]

As you stated, their are SO MANY uses for the word.
I LOVE IT when a female of the opposite sex is looking over her shoulder and saying "F me harder" but when a parent turns to their kids and screams "shut the F up already", well...then I have a problem with the word. Being in NYC with some people that are still trying to figure out the english language, sometimes every other word out of their mouth is the F word. (You know, as in "can I f'k'n AX you a f'k'n question?")
I AM tired of celebs at shows that are televised (Slash was a good example) of making sure they use it for the "shock value".
I personally growing up in Coney Island Brooklyn have the WORST "potty mouth" goin' so I would be a huge hypocrit on this subject.
Let's bring back the "C word" for everyone to use, abuse and enjoy! HAVE A NICE FUC*IN" DAY ALL!

[love2sing]

Question, DMan? What the f*ck is a female of the opposite sex? Wow, you guys from Brooklyn are kinky!


BTW! The "C" word is a definite no-no in my world! The "P" word is much better!

And as for the kids, as my dad would say, (another man born and raised in Brooklyn), "You're all angels............when you're sleeping". No. I don't seem to use the "F" word at all when they're sleepin'.

what about the k word

Perhaps of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "****." It is a magical word that just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language, "****" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John ****ed Mary) and intransitive (Mary was ****ed by John). It can be an active verb (John really gives a ****), or a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a ****), or it can be an adverb (Mary is really ****ing interested in John), a noun (Mary is a terrific ****), or an adjective (Mary is ****ing beautiful). As you see, there are few words with the versatility of "****."

Besides its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations:

Greetings: "How the **** are you?"

Fraud: "I got ****ed by the car dealer."

Dismay: "Oh, **** it!"

Trouble: "Well, I guess I'm ****ed now."

Aggression: "**** you!"

Disgust: "**** me!"

Confusion: "What the ****...?"

Difficulty: "I don't get this ****ing business."

Despair: "****ed again."

Incompetence: "He ****s everything up."

Displeasure: "What the **** is going on here?"

Lost: "Where the **** are we?"

Disbelief: "Un****ingbelievable!"

Retaliation: "Up your ****ing ass."



It can be used in an anatomical description: "He's a ****ing *******."

It can be used to tell time: "It's five ****ing thirty."

It can be used in business: "How did I wind up with this ****ing job?"

It can be maternal: "Mother****er."

It can be political: "**** tip O'Neill."


And never forget General Custer's last words: "Where did all these ****ing Indians come from?" Also, the famous last words of the mayor of Hiroshima: "What the **** was that?" And last but not least, the immortal words of the captain of the Titanic: "Where is all this ****ing water coming from?"

The mind fairly boggles at the many creative uses of the word. How can anyone be offended when you say ****? Use it in your daily speech; it will add to your prestige.

TODAY.......say to someone: "**** YOU!"

Most likely here:

[****] is a very old word, recorded in English since the 15th century (few acronyms predate the 20th century), with cognates in other Germanic languages. The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (Random House, 1994, ISBN 0-394-54427-7) cites Middle Dutch fokken = "to thrust, copulate with"; Norwegian dialect fukka = "to copulate"; and Swedish dialect focka = "to strike, push, copulate" and fock = "penis". Although German ficken may enter the picture somehow, it is problematic in having e-grade, or umlaut, where all the others have o-grade or zero-grade of the vowel.

If you want a woman to go postal on you, just use the "C" word in her presence.

YOU CAN'T SAY IT ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!! FU2

[Wakddood]

I think it's worn out, I used to say it
alot after entering the Army. Soldier's
favorite word. Remember FUBAR from
Saving Private Ryan. It stands for
****ed Up Beyond All Repair (or
Realization, Reality, Rationalization,
Recognition) Now I use the word very
rarely. Now my favorite words are Shit
and Crap which I deal with every day in
my line of work.:eek:

[imarocker]

can i ask a ****ing question? Why the **** do you all quote every thing? Its ****ing annoying....and i fixed the ****ing link to Farewell To Kings ****ing enjoy!

[mark]

ok to use in a private conversation.

But for instance sometimes we get people on the train when commuting and its 1/2 of their vocabulary. Then they talk so everyone one the train can hear them. Human Trash I guess!
