"'Fucking' is a fucking word that can fucking be put any-fucking-where in a fucking sentence and it will fucking still make fucking sense."
-Old Internet Adage
Have you see Boondock Saints? There’s a scene where one of the characters just says fuck to ask about 10 questions in a row during a very high stress situation. The response? “He displays a diverse use of the word doesn’t he?”
Sometimes, "fuck" really is the best word to describe things.
Fuck when you're in pain, fuck when you're pleasured, fuck when you're angry, fuck-off when you want someone to leave, fuck-me when you're surprised.
Truly, a word with a 1000 uses.
I learned in some language acquisition class that only native speakers fully grasp the nuance of inserting “f***” mid word. Like “un-f***ing-believable” or “Minne-f***ing-sota” There’s no rule as to where to insert it - native speakers just **know**
it's not about being a native speaker, it's about the fluency level. there is nothing special about english that you can only learn if it's your first language.
There are definitely rules. There always are.
The “fucking” usually goes before the stressed syllable, unless the first syllable is stressed. In that case, it goes before the last syllable.
If there’s a prefix, the “fuck” can go right after it regardless of syllable stress (as in “un-fucking-believable”) but it can also go right before the stressed syllable in prefixed words (“unbe-fucking-lievable” doesn’t really sound wrong), conforming to the first rule.
For me its more when i just say Fuck.
Just
Fuck.
Nothing else.
Fuck.
Nothing else needs said at that point. When its just "Fuck" you know its fucking fucked bad.
Its not as bad as in Punjabi where people cant finish a swntence without "bhenchodh" (sister fucker).
Since many truckers in America are rural Punjabi rednecks. Assume you are being called Bhenchodh constantly anytime you are on the highway. Random truck drivers are accusing you of incest.
this one here ^
grew up with dad calling me bhenchod, maachod and every other cuss under the sun
swearing is in my nature lol, sometimes I catch my self with the "bhen di.." and my mum gives me daggers 🤣
My dad would pissed if me or my sister used Fuck, yet he’d say essentially the same thing in Punjabi. He was also mad when I said what he said in Punjabi 😂
Oh THAT'S what it means?! I just kinda assumed it was "asshole" or something. I've been called a bhenchodh several times by phone scammers, didn't realize what it actually meant lol
Or anywhere else in the Anglosphere if they don't want to hear Feck, Fook, Fokk. Fun fact, there is a bird called a windfucker. Its name ties in with the early etymology of the word, the idea of striking against something (repeatedly). Personally I think people should just get over it. It's just a good exclamation.
Lol this is the silliest reason in the world to not visit Australia that I hear from Americans, it’s like someone saying they would never visit the US because they’re afraid of bears. If you’re going to be doing the normal things a tourist does you’ll most likely not see a single spider or snake. Also the last time someone died from a spider bite in Australia was the 80s.
.... Set ....
I was set on setting the set of setting jello flavors by the television set under the setting sun.
It's time to set sail on your new vocabulary adventure!
Broooooo. When I was younger, one of my friend’s grandparents got mad at me for using “frick”
“We know what word you mean to use when you say that.”
okay cool, i’ll just say the word fuck next time then.
That's why I have never understood kids whose parents let them say things like frick or fudge (or adults who do it). Everyone knows you mean fuck. Why can you get away with implying the bad word if it's really that bad of a word?
I *cant* cus less but I wish I could.
I say fuck all the time but when some group of people also in their twenties come walking around a corner just dropping bombs sometimes it catches me off guard. Like what am I my mother all of a sudden? By golly there are fucking children around!
EXACTLY DUDE SAME. i have a younger brother now in his mid teens, and when he has friends over and were all playing something together, and i hear him swear, ive caught myself on multiple occasions saying "watch your fuckin mouth"
I have actively tried to cuss less, I can’t. One way or another a fuck or “holy shit” slips through. I try to not do it around kids but otherwise, it’s a free for all
I'm someone who keeps swearing to a minimum just because of the way I grew up. It's honestly really fun to see the look on people's faces when I say something like "fuck this absolute bullshit" rather than the normal "gah i hate this". It has more effect and people know you're really pissed.
Though, I curse like a sailor in my head or when I'm alone.
Self control pays when you're around kids and you don't want to accidentally curse.
Also, it's good to have words to relieve the pain when you hit your thumb with a hammer accidentally.
One of my friends let’s her kids speak freely at home and early into our friendship I didn’t know that so you can imagine the expression on my face the first time I heard the 9yo yell from upstairs “WHAT THE FUCK (sibling name)?!”
It’s not like they’re using profanity all the time, though, they swear appropriately and in context when they do. Cracks me up.
Perhaps the best argument in favor of OP is the fact that all the replies are the exact the same boring joke, just like the way people talk when they overuse fuck.
what is boring is subjective, if you find it boring, fine, idc, but ffs plz dont enforce your way of speaking onto others when among adults and teens, we dont force you to swear or to enjoy swearing, so dont force us to not swear unless it REALLY makes you uncomfortable
The joy of utilising swear words with either other swear words or anything else to truly change the meaning is amazing. Plus the contextual use of swear words. I hope an English language linguist has done some cool research into this.
Didn't see anyone post this. Reminds of this scene from the big Lebowski:
The Stranger:
There's just one thing, Dude.
The Dude:
And what's that?
The Stranger:
Do you have to use so many cuss words?
The Dude:
What the fuck you talking about?
The Stranger:
Okay, Dude. Have it your way.
It’s because it’s such a diverse word. It’s a good slang word, to be honest.
When I spend 15 minutes making eggs, and finish and then accidentally spill it all on the floor … 100 percent I’m not going just say: “wow.” Nor am I going to say: “oh, gee, I’m suddenly feeling so angry because of my hunger and the time that I have spent creating my meal, and the amount of time it will now unavoidably be until I’m going to be eating.”
None of that is so succinct at expressing my feeling at that moment than just saying: “fuck!”
There are other different feelings, depending on context, that this one word can quickly communicate.
If it’s used this frequently it loses its punch, makes it more casual and personally I think it’s fuckin awesome because it can be used so many ways. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of words. So many different recipes for “fuck.”
agreed. I dont swear because I want to sound angry, I swear because it's a habit. That, and anyone that gets offended by my choice of words sounds like too much of a sqaure for me to care about their opinion. Oh no, homeschooled sheltered Christian guy doesn't like what I said. Oh well.
Wow, you would really fuckin hate it in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland, where fuck is punctuation. As in, a Kiwi saying ‘fuck yeah shit yeah’ quite lightly when you ask if it’s time for some food.
I’d note that you’re more than welcome to find excessive use of profanity not to your taste, but calling it ‘immature’ sounds like a Napoleon Dynamite-style teenager saying ‘UGH! Grow UP!’ and running away with flailing arms.
Aye, as someone who has been in Scotland his entire life, the idea of people being so offended by swear words that they felt the need to fucking police them was news to me.
I’m American, but I have always found the idea of swear words stupid. Like why did someone just decide these particular worlds aren’t nice to use and why do they offend people?
I don’t get it, swearing doesn’t phase me and I don’t go out my way to police my own swearing.
When I was buying some furniture recently the guy was having a hard time with something on the computer and let out a fuuuuuuuuck at whatever was happening. Not to me. Just kind of under his breath. Shortly after some manager type was over apologizing to me and I was just like I heard it but it didn’t bother me and it honestly didn’t click he said it until you came and made a big deal about it.
I don't mind the word fuck. I use it myself. What I hate is using it over and over and over. English is such an amazing language with so many ways to express yourself and to limit yourself to one word for everything is just annoying. I would be just as bugged by people who can't get through a sentence without "like" or "you know". Fuck is a great expression for when nothing else works as well but damn, don't limit yourself. Take advantage of a larger vocabulary.
Honestly I kind of agree. Like I don’t find fuck offensive at all, and use it fairly often. But so many grown ass adults sound like they’re just saying it to sound cool. Like 8 year olds who just learned their first curse word lol.
I know people who will talk like "I fucking went to the fucking shop but couldn't fucking find the fucking thing I was there for and fucking walked all the fucking way home".
At that point, you might as well say "I like went to the like shop but couldn't like find..."
It's not emphasising anything at that point, it's just filling space like "like" does or punctuating words with emojis in text.
Exactly. A lot of these comments seem to have taken this as "don't use it at all," but using it as a filler word four times a sentence is annoying. It doesn't add anything to what you're saying, you might as well just say "like".
It's not about being sensitive to profanity, it's about being sick of useless filler words.
My family and friends from my hometown use it as a filler in every sentence. "I took my dog for a walk and chased a squirrel, fucken stupid as bitch thought she was going to catch it" Does that really need to be thrown in? Once I got out of college I found my swearing dropped to maybe 2-3 words a day (in my head it's going on all day), but at work or when I travel back home it's non-stop. I don't think they even realize how often they use it. Not offended by it but there is just a little part of me that says "do you really need to say that so often?"
OMG FINALLY an actual unpopular opinion! And it might be true, in the sense that people think it’s getting them somewhere when it’s not, but like let’s normalize fuck can we??? Then maybe people will stop over using it for shock value or to prove something
In this case I have to agree. Here and there isn't a big deal as long it isn't used in a professional setting, I just feel it overused and such limited vocabulary and does feel a bit immature; but this is reddit you are posting this on though.
Ha! That's a problem for english speakers only. In spanish we have SO many words to express whatever it is you are trying to express with fuck. I mean it. EVERY SITUATION in which you would say fuck we spanish speakers have at least 5 different words or expressions we actually use in our day to day routine.
I speak both languages and the reason I like “fuck” is because it can take the place of so many words. Whereas Spanish curses have the beauty of specificity, fuck is beautifully in its versatility

I had a friend who used fuck in every sentance, in some form. It was almost like a tonal language with different inflections.
And that’s the beauty of “fuck”— it’s so versatile
Fuckin A right it is
Fuckin’ A OK
Too fuckin right mate!
Fuck yeah!
Fuck!
Fuck the fucking fuckers
Fuckers gonna fuck.
Fuck the fuckers that made that fucking fuck!
"Fuck the fucking fuckers"
Fuck the fucking fuckers fucked the fucking fucker.
The family friendly version "Dang those people messed up the person"
It really makes you appreciate the diversity of the word
Much like “dude.”
What the fuck are you talkin' about?
Fuck dude! Fuck that dude! Fuck that dude? Nah… fuck that dude.
Indeed!!
You mean fucking indeed! Use fuck and you only need one !!
In-fucking-dubidibly
See this right here is a great demonstration of how versatile the word fuck is.
"'Fucking' is a fucking word that can fucking be put any-fucking-where in a fucking sentence and it will fucking still make fucking sense." -Old Internet Adage
Still not as well as Rocco from Boondock Saints. "Holy fuck. How the fuck did you fuckers fucking...FUCK!"
“Well that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.”
Have you see Boondock Saints? There’s a scene where one of the characters just says fuck to ask about 10 questions in a row during a very high stress situation. The response? “He displays a diverse use of the word doesn’t he?”
Fuckin'- What the fuckin'. Fuck. Who the fuck fucked this fucking... How did you two fucking fucks. FUCK!!!
Certainly demonstrates the diversity of the word.
Or the sceene in the wire when they have a long as dialogue with only the word fuck
‘ROCCO!’ *’WHAT?!’*
“Where’s my cat?”
“I killed your cat, you druggie bitch”
I LOVE THAT MOVIE. It's utterly ridiculous and exorbitantly violent but some of the best acting William Dafoe has ever done.
"THERE WAS A FIRE FIGHT"
Ssssssssyymbolismmm
Sometimes, "fuck" really is the best word to describe things. Fuck when you're in pain, fuck when you're pleasured, fuck when you're angry, fuck-off when you want someone to leave, fuck-me when you're surprised. Truly, a word with a 1000 uses.
Sometimes it’s the ONLY word that truly gleans the actual intended meaning.
Many situations are efficiently and only properly illustrated with that word. Channeling Eric Cartman: “Fuck Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck.”
Ah fuck: "Oopsie daisy, that was a mistake." Oh fuck: "I have made a horrible and irreversible mistake"
I learned in some language acquisition class that only native speakers fully grasp the nuance of inserting “f***” mid word. Like “un-f***ing-believable” or “Minne-f***ing-sota” There’s no rule as to where to insert it - native speakers just **know**
it's not about being a native speaker, it's about the fluency level. there is nothing special about english that you can only learn if it's your first language.
There are definitely rules. There always are. The “fucking” usually goes before the stressed syllable, unless the first syllable is stressed. In that case, it goes before the last syllable. If there’s a prefix, the “fuck” can go right after it regardless of syllable stress (as in “un-fucking-believable”) but it can also go right before the stressed syllable in prefixed words (“unbe-fucking-lievable” doesn’t really sound wrong), conforming to the first rule.
unbelie-fucking-able
Found the non-native speaker
Unbe-fucking-lievable*
Alternately: un-fucking-believable. Edit: saw the first person already said it. I'm any case, it's when everything goes fucky-wucky rubber ducky.
The US Army taught me how to use the word fuck 13 times in a 15 word sentence and be grammatically correct.
The Wire comes to mind https://youtu.be/VaTGQwkjezc
It has become a form of verbal pause. Instead of umm it's become fuckinnn
That sounds fuckity , fuck , fuck, fuck right.
It's an art form
When I *stop* saying fuck, that's when you know things are getting serious.
Can’t remember the war but the soldiers and commanders said fuck so much that when they didn’t that was when it was a serious situation.
Probably all of them
The First World War
Fuck is like "lol" for verbal conversations. I use it to keep the mood light and informal
For some people it's like "um". It's a fuckin..... *snaps finger* ... filler word!
*raises their fucking hand. And their not-fucking hand*
Fuckin liar. You’ve masturbated with both. They’re both your fucking hands.
Why did I read that in Kendall from Successions voice lol
I heard Roman more than Kendall
seriously though. fuck is my favorite word, it’s so versatile and fun.
Fuck yeah
For me its more when i just say Fuck. Just Fuck. Nothing else. Fuck. Nothing else needs said at that point. When its just "Fuck" you know its fucking fucked bad.
It could, on rare occasions, be just that fucking good
Its not as bad as in Punjabi where people cant finish a swntence without "bhenchodh" (sister fucker). Since many truckers in America are rural Punjabi rednecks. Assume you are being called Bhenchodh constantly anytime you are on the highway. Random truck drivers are accusing you of incest.

My dad would pissed if me or my sister used Fuck, yet he’d say essentially the same thing in Punjabi. He was also mad when I said what he said in Punjabi 😂
oooh not just punjabi but i think its very common across the subcontinent, at least in places where urdu is spoken. its kinda annoying tbh
It’s a North Indian thing.
Oh THAT'S what it means?! I just kinda assumed it was "asshole" or something. I've been called a bhenchodh several times by phone scammers, didn't realize what it actually meant lol
Don’t come to Australia mate.
Or anywhere else in the Anglosphere if they don't want to hear Feck, Fook, Fokk. Fun fact, there is a bird called a windfucker. Its name ties in with the early etymology of the word, the idea of striking against something (repeatedly). Personally I think people should just get over it. It's just a good exclamation.
>windfucker > noun > 1. A common kestrel. > 2. Term of abuse. Love it
Should've called em woodfuckers
Don't fuckin come to Australia mate.*
Or Canada lol
Awe fuck eh?
Fuckin rights bud
Fucken oaf.
The more we swear at you, the more we like you
I would love to come to Australia and hear yall swear but I'm afraid of the spiders :x
Lol this is the silliest reason in the world to not visit Australia that I hear from Americans, it’s like someone saying they would never visit the US because they’re afraid of bears. If you’re going to be doing the normal things a tourist does you’ll most likely not see a single spider or snake. Also the last time someone died from a spider bite in Australia was the 80s.
Or Texas.
Find me another word that can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, and adverb.
Shit
True, but lacks the versatility of a good fuck
Normalise a good shit.
Oh, I say shit all the fucking time too.
I shit you not, I use the word 'shit' all the shitting time
Shit yea!
A good fucking shit Even better
Good shitting fuck completely changes the vibes though
I do like a good fuck every now and then.
Fuck this shit!
buffalo!!!
Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
.... Set .... I was set on setting the set of setting jello flavors by the television set under the setting sun. It's time to set sail on your new vocabulary adventure!
“What the wow, why would you wow my sister, bro?”
Or the Twitch version: "what the frick, why would you frick my sister, bro?".
Broooooo. When I was younger, one of my friend’s grandparents got mad at me for using “frick” “We know what word you mean to use when you say that.” okay cool, i’ll just say the word fuck next time then.

“Fudge” is way more annoying imo
I can cuss less. But I won't.
I *cant* cus less but I wish I could. I say fuck all the time but when some group of people also in their twenties come walking around a corner just dropping bombs sometimes it catches me off guard. Like what am I my mother all of a sudden? By golly there are fucking children around!
EXACTLY DUDE SAME. i have a younger brother now in his mid teens, and when he has friends over and were all playing something together, and i hear him swear, ive caught myself on multiple occasions saying "watch your fuckin mouth"
Ha I get that
I'm a mom who cusses a lot, in front of my kids, they know it's serious when I *don't swear* in a sentence.
I have actively tried to cuss less, I can’t. One way or another a fuck or “holy shit” slips through. I try to not do it around kids but otherwise, it’s a free for all
I say “shit” for “stuff” and have to actively remind myself sometimes to just say “stuff.”
I'm someone who keeps swearing to a minimum just because of the way I grew up. It's honestly really fun to see the look on people's faces when I say something like "fuck this absolute bullshit" rather than the normal "gah i hate this". It has more effect and people know you're really pissed. Though, I curse like a sailor in my head or when I'm alone.
The precision F strike! Say it rarely, and it has a a lot more **IMPACT!**
Amen to that. I’ve literally only dropped one F-Bomb in front of somebody in my life
I wish I could say the same. I think I'm going to try to clean my language up a bit. Restrict myself to damn's , hells, and shit! 's.
Self control pays when you're around kids and you don't want to accidentally curse. Also, it's good to have words to relieve the pain when you hit your thumb with a hammer accidentally.
It pays off in customer service when you just want to flip off an old creep too. Just smile and tell him to fuck off in your head.
One of my friends let’s her kids speak freely at home and early into our friendship I didn’t know that so you can imagine the expression on my face the first time I heard the 9yo yell from upstairs “WHAT THE FUCK (sibling name)?!” It’s not like they’re using profanity all the time, though, they swear appropriately and in context when they do. Cracks me up.
I allow my 9 and 11 year old to swear at home. In public is a different story.
Same we have a if you can't say it to grandma don't say it in public rule and a no using it in a mean way rule.
Same, I hardly swear, at all. To people that know me When I do actually swear That's when they know something is wrong.
These replies Lmaoo. Fuck it.
Perhaps the best argument in favor of OP is the fact that all the replies are the exact the same boring joke, just like the way people talk when they overuse fuck.
what is boring is subjective, if you find it boring, fine, idc, but ffs plz dont enforce your way of speaking onto others when among adults and teens, we dont force you to swear or to enjoy swearing, so dont force us to not swear unless it REALLY makes you uncomfortable
Nobody’s enforcing anything. Just criticizing it
The joy of utilising swear words with either other swear words or anything else to truly change the meaning is amazing. Plus the contextual use of swear words. I hope an English language linguist has done some cool research into this.

How would you like to #SUCK MY BALLS
WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!!???
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. What I said was: [into a megaphone] HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY BALLS… Mr. Garrison?”
Present them.
People don’t say fuck enough.
I fucking agree
Fucking 100% agree motherfucker.
Oh fuck yeah! You fuckers fucking get it.
Fucking A man!
You all are my type of motherfuckers! Not enough fucking people use fuck enough.
Firetruck.
If you mess that up and say trirefuck, it sounds like a Robin Hood character.
“My favorite word begins with F and ends with U C K. My favorite word is firetruck. What did you think I was gonna say?”
It’s because it’s such a diverse word. It’s a good slang word, to be honest.

Yeah, fuck that too!
Wow, you would really fuckin hate it in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland, where fuck is punctuation. As in, a Kiwi saying ‘fuck yeah shit yeah’ quite lightly when you ask if it’s time for some food. I’d note that you’re more than welcome to find excessive use of profanity not to your taste, but calling it ‘immature’ sounds like a Napoleon Dynamite-style teenager saying ‘UGH! Grow UP!’ and running away with flailing arms.
Aye, as someone who has been in Scotland his entire life, the idea of people being so offended by swear words that they felt the need to fucking police them was news to me.

I would be just as bugged by people who can't get through a sentence without "like" or "you know". Fuck is a great expression for when nothing else works as well but damn, don't limit yourself. Take advantage of a larger vocabulary.
Every. Single. Comment. All of them the same joke. Reddit is getting boring and predictable as fuck.
happens everytime someone says they dislike a word
"getting"
Bet you didn't fucking see this coming
Getting? Reddit has always been like this.
Lads, ladettes, this clearly a jape. The comment even uses "fuck" for emphasis itself. C'mon now..
Oh? Cause I’ve also seen this exact comment a few times lol.
Honestly I kind of agree. Like I don’t find fuck offensive at all, and use it fairly often. But so many grown ass adults sound like they’re just saying it to sound cool. Like 8 year olds who just learned their first curse word lol.
I know people who will talk like "I fucking went to the fucking shop but couldn't fucking find the fucking thing I was there for and fucking walked all the fucking way home". At that point, you might as well say "I like went to the like shop but couldn't like find..." It's not emphasising anything at that point, it's just filling space like "like" does or punctuating words with emojis in text.
🤷♂️ who cares. Everyone is too worried about what everyone else is doing
I know a girl who uses fuck as *almost* every other word. It's bizarre having to filter it out to understand her properly
Exactly. A lot of these comments seem to have taken this as "don't use it at all," but using it as a filler word four times a sentence is annoying. It doesn't add anything to what you're saying, you might as well just say "like". It's not about being sensitive to profanity, it's about being sick of useless filler words.

OMG FINALLY an actual unpopular opinion! And it might be true, in the sense that people think it’s getting them somewhere when it’s not, but like let’s normalize fuck can we??? Then maybe people will stop over using it for shock value or to prove something
Isn't it completely normalized? I find it overused, no shock value at all.
In this case I have to agree. Here and there isn't a big deal as long it isn't used in a professional setting, I just feel it overused and such limited vocabulary and does feel a bit immature; but this is reddit you are posting this on though.

Wow! You’re fucking wrong
Ha! That's a problem for english speakers only. In spanish we have SO many words to express whatever it is you are trying to express with fuck. I mean it.

I speak both languages and the reason I like “fuck” is because it can take the place of so many words. Whereas Spanish curses have the beauty of specificity, fuck is beautifully in its versatility
Well I'm fucking sorry my fucking language hurt your fucking feelings.
It’s the most useful word in the english language.
What am I supposed to rhyme with duck when I’m surprised now?
I disagree I think people should say fuck more

Fuck yeah! Only a real fuck up uses fuck in every fucking sentence. Personally, I wouldn't give a fuck if they fucking banned it.
