Why the f*** did I clip this? I like the word friggin' much better. .

Anyway! I saw someone wearing a t-shirt that said "F*** the President" and wondered if it was legal? (With letters and not asterisks though.) The f-word does seem to be becoming more and more acceptable as common language nowadays. Do I like it? Naaa, I guess I must be friggin' old-fashioned, but I loved the t-shirt though. *LOL*
In 1971, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the mere public display of fuck is protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendments and cannot be made a criminal offense.

Effed if I know where it came from (I had heard the affore mentioned story and nothing better since.)
I would like to know how this single word can reduce pain as much as it does when you hit yourself with the proverbial hammer?
I was thinking of writing this with an "f" in all words but it would have taken too effing long!

The first time I heard the word fuck I was 8 years old and I didn't know what it meant until a friend told me; I just knew it was just something horrible that could not be uttered without major repercussions. I'm thinking of that scene in "A Christmas story" where the son said oh fudge, not really, and the mother is aghast asking the son where he heard that word. Of course the old man uttered it 20 times a day, but the poor kid had to blame one of his friends who got the tar beat out of him by his Mom, btw, I love that movie.
Now, the word is so commonplace it seems to have lost it's shock value. Is that a good or bad thing? Why did fuck lose it's sting?
Perso...

I heard that the word fuck was created in king Henry`s time. The population was told to Fornicate Under Command of the King. So that the country could populate and be a greater force for protection from the hordes.

And if you don't believe that. Then F U ALL.

A German friend of mine claimed that Americans are more squeamish about using words that literally describe bodily functions. He said that when he was living in the States he actually heard someone say, "That fucking dog went to the bathroom in my yard."

The 1st letter is reaching out for something & it is a 6 the # of the body(Anything that exists has six sides). U is the 1st vowel the #3 that deals with communication as is the next letter C a consonant. Where U holds things in before speaking C is more forward in expressing itself & the K is a channel/outlet for carrying out what has been started. Look at how it appears to walk. In fact look at how the F is pushing the U over into the C & the K walking forward with the other letters in tow. The word reduces to a 14 & then to a 5 so it could be read thus...
Spirit(1) manifesting itself(4) in freedom of action(5).
How's that for a definition of the word & its origin?

I don't like the word. I still think it's a 'rude' word. I don't even like to write it (haha!) and I think the word, if used at all, should be saved for emergencies like the proverbial hammer situation (and only when it was a really big hammer and really really really painful) .

I like "fock" or "fockin' ". (It almost rhymes with hawk.) This variant has been coined by Art Kumbalek, who writes a semi-comical column in the local "alternative press" publication, The Shepherd Express. This nom-de-plume is a character based on a prototypical working-class Milwaukeean. Art is not only a writer, but a musician, and thespian. On top of that, we were co-workers when I was 16 and he 17, and I can clearly see much of his inspiration in the near-retirement workers we ate lunch with. I have a sense that a couple of Clipp...

Wow what a set of potty mouths we have in here!

Somewhere out there is a great audio on the use of the word.

I much prefer the verb form of the word. *wink*

Not me BBW! I only asterisked! *LOL* I agree that *verbing* it, is much much better than wording it too. Haha! .

And that's a big part of it my problem, I guess. The lack of fun.
"Fucking," for all its frankness and everything, doesn't sound like
fun. And using the word sort of takes so much of what's essential about
sex out of it. It just reduces it to the basics. So I'd have to say I've never really fucked anyone.
