okay, i have all these people on my back to stop swearing, and i do when i'm around them, but it gets REALLY irritating when you go "FUCK" because you seriously bruised your ass falling in the shower and they yell at you and say it's "no excuse for a young woman!" this wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make it sound so fucking sexist. i mean, it's only about once a month or so i let myself slip when im not supposed to, 'SCUSE ME FOR NOT BEING THE MOST TACTFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET!! if you don't want me to swear infront of you tell me and i'll do my best not to. if i hurt myself and slip, you can bloody well deal with it. i tried to cut down, repressed it all, and...well...let's just say my language came back with reinforcements.
so, i have something here for all you people, take it from my point of view for once before you go all bitch on me because i messed up once in three months.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word 'fuck.' Out of all of the English words that begin with the letter F, 'fuck' is the only word that is referred to as the "F-word." It's the one magical word. Just by it's sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate, and love. 'Fuck,' as most words in the English language, is derived from German; the word Fleichen which means 'to strike.' In English, 'fuck' falls into many grammatical categories. As a transitive verb, for instance: "John fucked Shirley." As an in-transitive verb: "Shirley fucks." It's meaning's not always sexual. In can be used as an adjective, such as "John's doing all the fucking work." As part of an adverb, "Shirley talks to 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.' As in these examples describing situations such as:
Fraud: "I got fucked at the used car lot."
Dismay: "Aww, 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."
In query: "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 of 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!"
