Can "fuck you" be a term of endearment?
Today I walked up to Mr. Writer. "Fuck you, honey chunks," I said. I then left his study, catching his confused glare in the corner of my eye.

What do you think? Can "fuck you" become a pleasant greeting? A word of affection? A love pat? :loveya:

3. Sure it can.
I say it occasionally as a term of endearment.

8. Yeah, that is a bit saccharin.
But it's better than "Peanut Butter Sweetpea" which comes out of my mouth like a uncontrollable nervous tick when I address him, at times. :blush:

9. I usually use "fuck you" to provoke an argument
However, whatever comes after usually clears the smog in our relationship (I don't know why pollution-control is always left to me).

And the sex is usually phenomenal once the air is clean!

13. Most versatile word in the language
In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories, making it one of the most versatile words in the English language.

It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Jane) and intransitive (John and Jane fucked). It can be an active verb (John fucked Jane) or a passive verb (Jane was fucked by John). Or an adverb (John is a fucking bastard) and a noun (Jane is a terrific fuck). It can be used as an adjective (Jane is fucking beautiful).

As you can see there are few words with the versatility of "fuck". Besides its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations.

Greetings - "How the fuck are you?"

Lost - "Where the fuck are we?"
Disbelief - "Unbefuckinglievable!!!"
Retaliation - "Up your fucking ass!!!"
Laziness - "He's just a fuck-off."
Pain - "Fuck ! that hurt."
Pleasure - "Oooooooh Fuuuuuuck"

can both be endearing terms when use during whoopie sessions :7

23. Every year, after we do the "santa claus" stuff on Christmas Eve,
we tumble into bed, hold each other close and whisper "Merry Fucking Christmas" so I would say yes.

24. i think you've qualified the endearment properly with the "honey chunks"...
it's sometimes good to be able to see the exit from where one stands ;)

25. I have a very small handful of friends in which...
"fuck you", and "you suck" is the highest form of compliment.

Usually delivered after someone plays a burning solo.

...oh, and I forgot, "you no-playing piece of shit".
