Video of Osho: • Video American video: • The 'F' Word The Magical “F-Word” (click “Show more”) One of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word “fuck”. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter “f”, “fuck” is the only word that is referred to as the “f-word”. It is a magical word. Just by its sound it can describe pain, pleasure hate and love. In English, “fuck” falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive: “Mary fucked John.” and intransitive: “Mary fucks.” However, it’s meaning isn’t always sexual. It can be used as a noun: “I really don’t give a fuck.” It can be used as part of an adjective: “John is a fucking spanner.” It can be used as an adverb: “Mary talks too fucking much.” As an adverb enhancing an adjective: “Mary is fucking beautiful.” As part of another word: “Abso-fucking-lutely.” And as almost every word in a sentence: “Fuck the fucking fuckers.” As you can see, there aren’t many words with the versatility of “fuck”. For example, there are also the following uses; Ignorance: “Fucked if I know.” Dismay: “Fuck it.” Trouble: “I guess I’m fucked now.” Fraud: “I got fucked at the second-hand car dealership.” Curiosity: “Who the fuck are you?” Bafflement: “What the fuck?” Aggression: “Fuck you.” Displeasure: “What the fuck is going on here?” Difficulty: “I can’t understand this fucking exam.” Incompetence: “He’s fucking useless.” Instruction: “Get fucked.” Dismissal: “You can fuck right off.” Suspicion: “What the fuck are you doing?” Enjoyment: “I had a fucking good time.” Request: “Get the fuck out of here!” Hostility: “I’m going to knock your fucking head off.” Greeting: “How the fuck are you?” Apathy: “Who gives a fuck?” Clarification: “What the fuck are you on about?” Innovation: “Get a bigger fucking hammer.” And, finally, surprise: “Fuck! You scared the shit out of me.” These lessons on my Youtube channel provide free educational material about British English, British pronunciation and British accent training.
