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.

Its the one magical word, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.

Fuck, as most words in the English language, is derived from German, the verb frichen (must be: ficken), which means to strike.

In English, fuck falls into many gramatical catagories.

As a transitive verb for instance: "John fucked Shirley."

It's meaning's not always sexual.

It can be used as an adjective such as: "John's doing all the fucking work."

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."
