- Fuck is an obscene English-language wor

- often refers to the act of sexual intercourse, but is also commonly used to
intensify a phrase. While its origin is obscure, it is usually considered to be
rst attested as an authentic English word to around 147

- In modern usage, the term fuck and its derivatives (such as fucker and
fucking) are used as plenty grammar roles . It can be a noun (mime le), a
verb, an adjective, an interjection or an adverb. There are many common
phrases that employ the word as well as compounds that incorporate it,
such as motherfucker, fuckwit, fuckup, fucknut, fucktard, and fuck of

- No need to remind that fuck is considered very offensive and vulgar. So


sorry mr.Raph, but I do this as a favor to knowledge. Some English
systems have words that are forbidden in the medias N-word F-Word

- Now let’s talk ab History : we are not here to only be vulgar. We can be
cultured and vulgar.

- The Oxford English Dictionary states that the ultimate etymology is


uncertain, but that the word probably comes from a variety of Germanic
words with different meanings involving striking, rubbing and having sex

- (Striking) = somthn unusual or extreme, « striking »= attract attention,


prominent, important, unusual

- (Rubbing) = to rub

- (Having sex)

- The word has been evolving but as I just said, it probably comes from
Germanic languages, such as German cken ('to fuck') Dutch fokken ('to
breed', 'to beget’ élever-engendrer); Afrikaans fok ('to fuck') Icelandic fokka
('to mess around', 'to rush'); dialectal Norwegian fukka ('to copulate’) you
guys understood, you got the vibe = not sweet nor pure or innocent but it’s
interesting though, isn’t it ? Now you can say « The word comes from
different Germanic langages, it meant striking, rubbing or having sex

- Lots of debates ab the origin of the word. in 2015, Dr. Paul Booth argued
he had found "(possibly) the earliest known use of the word 'fuck' that
clearly has a sexual connotation": in England, in a court, in 1310-11 a man
is referred to as "Roger Fuckebythenavele", probably a nickname. It

wouldn’t be his real name : it’s a very long last name. Dr Booth said :
"Either this refers to an inexperienced copulator, referring to someone
trying to have sex with the navel, or it's a rather extravagant explanation for
a dimwit, someone so stupid they think that this is the way to have sex

- Now that we have been talking ab History. Let’s talk ab the word today !
The modern usage and exibility of fuck was established by the mid-to-late
19th century, and has been fairly stable since. Most literally, to fuck is to
have sex, but it is also used as a more general expletive (adjective or
adverb that does not contribute to the meaning of a sentence, but is used
to intensify its emotional force - generally words that are considered
coming from bad langage) fuck is not formal.

- For example, the word in-fucking-credible sounds acceptable to the English


ear, and is in fairly common use, while *incred-fucking-ible would sound
very clumsy (but could work as a humorous improvisation of the word)

- The word fuck is a component of many acronyms, some of which—like


SNAFU (Situation Normal: All Fucked Up) that comes from WWII = soldiers
being ironic ab situation of war

- Many more recent coinages. Speed test : WTF? for 'what the fuck', STFU
for 'shut the fuck up', or FML for 'fuck my life', have been widely extant on
the Internet, and may count as examples of internet memes.

- Many acronyms will also have an F or MF added to increase emphasis; for


example, OMG ('oh my God') becomes OMFG ('oh my fucking God').
Abbreviations involving fuck can be considered less offensive than fuck
itself. But although the word is proclaimed vulgar, several comedians rely
on fuck for comedic routines.

- The word began to break into cinema when it was uttered once in the lm
Vapor (1963) = pretty recent

- Fuck is not widely used in politics, and the use of the word by politicians
often produces controversy. Some events including
- In 1965, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson said to the Greek ambassador
Alexandros Matsas when he objected to American plans in Cyprus, "Fuck
your parliament and your constitution. America is an elephant. Cyprus is a
ea. Greece is a ea. If these two fellows continue itching the elephant
they may just get whacked by the elephant's trunk, whacked good"

- In the United States, the word is frequently edited out of music (I’m pretty
sure you know music with the word in it) and lms when broadcast on TV,
such as in the lm The Big Lebowski, The word fuck was Used 260 times
throughout the lm, or once every 2 minutes on average. And so, when
John Goodman's character repeatedly yells, "This is what happens when
you fuck a stranger in the ass". It was censored on television as "This is
what happens when you nd a stranger in the Alps. » The Alps. The
mountains.

- In conclusion, the word fuck is a term that you hear everyday now. You
know what it means, you know how to use it, even when you’re talking
casual French (quoi mais ils sont ensemble ? Nan mais wtf) I know you
know.

- I hope you learned some things and for those who want to avoid the word,
here are some alternatives : ipping, frigging, fricking, freaking, feck, fudge,
aming, forget or any of a number of similar-sounding nonsense words. In
print, there are alternatives such as, F***, F––k, etc.; or a string of non-
alphanumeric characters, for example, @$#*%! and simila

- For those who don’t mind, I wish you (it’s the last time, I promise, the last
time I say it) I wish an excellent fucking day !
