The word "Fuck" describes many emotions. No other word can be used in such varied grammatical nuances. It can be used as a noun (I don’t give a fuck); as an adjective (It’s a fucking beauty); as a verb in its transitive form (The game was well and truly fucked up by the weather); and the intransitive form (He well and truly fucked it up).

Everyday expressions show it’s true versatility;

• Denial.................I’ll be fucked if I did.

• Perplexity...........I know fuck all about it.

• Apathy................Who gives a fuck anyway?

• Greeting.............How the fuck are you?

• Goodbye.............Fuck Off!

• Resignation........Oh fuck it!

• Derision..............He fucks everything up.

• Laziness..............I’ll be fucked if I’ll do it.

• Bone Idol............Fuck Off and do it yourself.

• Exaggeration......I’ve fucking well told you a million times.
