	Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language
today is the word "fuck."  It is the one magical word that, just by its
sound, can describe pain, pleasure, hate, and love.  Fuck, as most words in
the English language takes its name from the german word "fricken" which
means to "stick."

	In language, fuck falls into many grammatical categories.  It can
be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive
(Mary was fucked by John), and as a noun (Mary is a fine fuck).  It can be
used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful).  As you can see, there
are not many words with the versatility of fuck.

	Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the following uses:

	   fraud .............. I got fucked at the used car lot.

   	   ignorance........... Fucked if I know.

	   trouble ............ I guess I'm fucked now.

	   aggression ......... Fuck you!

	   displeasure ........ What the fuck is going on here?
	
	   difficulty ......... I can't understand this fucking job.
		
	   incompetence ....... He's a fuck 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?

	   innovation ......... Get a bigger fuckin' hammer.

	   surprise ........... Fuck!  You scared the shit out of me!

	   anxiety ............ Today is really fucked.

	I know you can think of may more uses, but with all these uses, how
can any one be offended when you say fuck?  You should use this unique word
more often in your daily speech.  It adds to your prestige.  Say it loud
and clear; fuck you!
