Some people will think this post is fucking offensive

[Bjorn Against]

Fuck. All I have to say is that one fucking word and you are all supposed to be as offended as all fucking hell. We are told that fuck is an offensive word, shit is an offensive word, goddamn is offensive, and we are supposed to cringe when we hear these words.

But while we get offended at a word like fuck we can listen to a word like war and not blink an eye. In fact many have been trained to believe the word war is an honorable word, it is something that we are supposed to embrace and celebrate because they tell us that war brings us freedom.

If some fucking right-winger tells us that they want to blow Iraq to kingdom come we are supposed to respect their opinion, but if someone tells that right-winger to fuck off and stop advocating murder we are supposed to be offended because that someone said the word fuck.

Where in the fucking hell are our priorities? People are being blown to fucking bits in a massacre in the Middle East, and yet our society tells us we should be offended because of a fucking four letter word. Sure we may have heard the word fuck a million times, but we are supposed to keep being offended by it.

Well fuck it! I am not offended by the word fuck, I am offended by all the fuckers that go on television and lie to us about the illegal occupation of Iraq. I am not offended by the word shit, I am offended that people are being treated like shit because the corporations want to profit off their labor. I am not offended by the word dick, I am offended by that Dick who is acting as our Vice pResident.

And let us be honest, how many people really are offended by the word fuck? I hear the word all the fucking time and I rarely see anyone blink an eye when they hear the word. We go to the movies, we listen to popular music, we go to the grocery store, and we hear the word fuck nearly every day. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I can say it a million times, and most people don't fucking care. But yet despite the fucking fact that they aren't offended by it we have been conditioned to believe that it is an incredibly fucking offensive word.

We have been conditioned to act offended when we are not offended, and to shut our fucking mouths when someone says something truly repulsive. If we call out a fucking racist comment we are accused of being too politically correct, if we say we are offended when our politicians threaten to bomb the fucking hell out a nation that poses no threat we are accused of not respecting their opinions, when we get pissed off because people are committing crimes in the White House we are accused of spitting venom.

We are not supposed to get offended at all the crimes that are being committed in our names, instead we are supposed to be offended by a few four letter words. Well fuck that. I am not going to be offended at trivial bullshit, I am going to be offended by those fucking religious right fuckers who tell us that we need to be offended when we hear “dirty words” right before they launch into one of their homophobic tirades.

So go ahead, say fuck, shit, piss, goddamn, and motherfucker all you fucking want. But as soon as someone says a truly offensive word like war, then we can start getting truly fucking offended.

8. Why Fuck is the Best Word in the English Language:

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck".

It is a magical word which, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate. 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).

It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck),

a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck),

and adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John),

or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck).

It can also be used as an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary).

It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid).

As you can see there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word fuck.

Aside from its sexual connotations, this word can be used to describe many situations:

1. Greetings........."How the fuck are ya?"

2. Fraud..............."I got fucked by the car dealer."

3. Resignation......."Oh, fuck it!"

4. Trouble............."I guess I'm fucked now."

5. Aggression........."Fuck you!"

6. Disgust................"Fuck me."

7. Confusion............." What the fuck....?"

8. Displeasure............"Fucking shit man..."

9. Lost........................"Where the fuck are we?"

10.Disbelief..............."Unfuckingbelievable!"

11.Retaliation............."Up your fucking ass!"

12. Apathy................."Who really gives a fuck?"

13. Suspicion............."Who the fuck are you?"

14. Directions.............."Fuck off."

It can be maternal........"Motherfucker!"

It can be used to tell time......."It's four fucking twenty!"

It can be used as an anatomical description............."He's a fucking asshole."

Lastly, it has been used by many notable people throughout history:

"What the fuck was that?" -Mayor of Hiroshima

"That's not a real fucking gun." -John Lennon

"Where the fuck is all this water coming from?" -Captain of the Titanic

"Who the fuck is gonna find out?" -Richard Nixon

"Heads are gonna fucking roll." -Anne Boleyn

"Any fucking idiot could answer that." -Albert Einstein

"It does so fucking look like her!" -Picasso

"You want what on the fucking ceiling?" -Michaelangelo

"Fuck a duck." -Walt Disney

"Houston, we have a big fucking problem." - The crew of Apollo 13

12. Fuck is a legitimate and well accepted golf term.

It also is well understood and well accepted construction terminology.

In fact, I submitted a paper on the word "Fuck" in an eighth grade English class and received an A on it. Of course, that was about 40 years ago. Now they teach to the test.

taken the sting out of it. It used to say, "pay attention to this part":.

Now it says nothing.

[Bjorn Against]

22. You are missing the point...

I purposely overused the word in this post to show that the word should not sting, we are getting offended over a word that we hear all the time. What people generally don't get offended over however is the incredibly disgusting things that are said using "clean" language, when a person advocates for war or makes comments attacking the poor they generally get a free pass. I am making the point that we are getting offended over the wrong things. I don't talk like this every day, but when I am making a post about language then it only makes sense to use the language that I am writing about.

[Smarmie Doofus]

25. Don't I always.?

No really, I did get yer point. And it's a good one.

I'm piggy backing on it though to make one of my own: I miss the word "FUCK" . I'm talkinmg about the FUCK that had real shock value and made people sit up and take notice.

Alas.. it's gone, gone, gone.

17. Absofuckinglutely Infuckingcredible.

Fuck can be an infix. That's the only thing that I remember from my linguistics class in college.

20. I once heard George Carlin in a interview say....

and I'm paraphrasing here, "society seems to be so offended by curse words, yet we worship soldiers, football and baseball players, firemen, policemen as heroes. All of those are groups of young men and women who curse incessantly. So if the words are good enough for our heroes, whats so bad about them?"

[AlCzervik]

24. The bombing of Baghdad and the televising of it was offensive to me, fuck, not so much

spank material aka war porn, children in poverty, meals on wheels funding cuts, nclb and a myriad of other things offend me.

Swearing, no.

[lonestarnot]

26. Right fucking on!

[Psyop Samurai]

28. Welcome to upside-down world...

...a world of intimidation and false pretense, in which we certainly wouldn't want to offend anyone, least of all, accomplices to mass murder.

The word "war" is a deceptive euphemism that is used to inoculate people's minds against what's really being advocated. It serves to divert the mind into a false construction that serves the aims of criminals. I've given my spiel elsewhere as to why I was in the street five years ago, and it wasn't because I was "anti-war". For starters, before this Orwellian nightmare descended upon us, it was understood by any sane person that only an insane psychopath could be "pro-war".

I was contacted by the Quinnipiac pole during the primaries, and was asked my "opinion" on the war in Iraq, to which I responded, "there is no war in Iraq, there is a premeditated fraud, grand theft and mass murder". I don't recall the pollster's exact words, but it was kind of like, um, ok, we'll put you down for "don't approve". :D Of course, when asked about "president Bush", I also responded that the imposter was not president.

I agree with a previous poster that the word "fuck" has been overused, the result of which is that in order to have the effect of its original usage, one has to use the "c" word. I am not personally adverse to doing so, so long as it is very sparingly.

32. "[O]ne man's vulgarity is another's lyric."

Justice Harlan in Cohen v. California, a U.S. Supreme Court case that overturned a disturbing the peace conviction against a citizen who wore a jacket with "Fuck the Draft" on the back. The case was decided in 1968 during the height of the Vietnam conflict. The majority found that the use of the word in the context of Fuck the Draft was protected speech. An interesting sidenote: the lawyer representing Mr. Cohen was Melville Nimmer, a legendary first amendment/entertainment/copyright lawyer who taught at UCLA Law School for many years. Professor Nimmer was my professor for copyright law, and told us about Cohen v. California. Apparently, the Court advised the two lawyers who would argue the case not the use "the word in question" during oral argument. Professor Nimmer, whose entire argument rested on the notion that the word could be used in a context that was not offensive in the way the word is normally understood, ignored the advice and began his argument by saying something to the effect of "This case involves a gentleman who was arrested for disturbing the peace because he wore a jacket with "Fuck the Draft" on the back." Professor Nimmer said some of the justices almost fell out of their chairs. In any event, he won the case, by a 5 to 4 decision. Professor Nimmer then told us his wife, who was a needlepoint expert, later made a pillow for their couch at home that said "Love" on one side and "Fuck the Draft" on the other. Wherever you are, Professor Nimmer, you are missed and God bless you.

40. For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

I always thought it was an abbreviation.

Mind you, I'm not in the least offended. Then again, English is not my native language, so I couldn't care less.

Maybe US Americans are offended when they hear or see the word Fuck. Makes you wonder why they don't have the same problem with Kill. Oh wait, I get it. Fuck is pro-choice, Kill is pro-life.

Holland hangs it head in shame. Neuk!

[Buns_of_Fire]

41. George Carlin wanted to replace the word "kill" with the word "fuck" in all the B-Movie westerns...

"Alright, sheriff, we're gonna fuck ya now. But we're gonna fuck ya sloooooooooooooooow....."

[BB1]

44. Sounds good!

Too bad we don't have to think up shit like that here in Holland. Jon Stewart is shown on comedy central uncensored, nudity is mostly allright too. Plus, smoking a joint on tv (I have done so, and will again:)) is not that big of a problem either.

I told some people about George Carlin yesterday. I hope no god has his soul, 'cause they would tire of him quickly. (I tend to like the 'small gods'. But that's more Terry 'I'll lovemaking kill you!' Pratchett.)

Fuck, I smoked so much weed today, dreaming up a revolutionary scheme, that the wodka hits really hard. I feel a little fucked up...

52. When I first lived in a Latino community

the first words I learned were the curse words, and for the new immigrants coming to this country it was the same. They had to explain to me what their words meant and I had to explain what our words meant. Sometimes it was difficult to explain but thank heavens, giving the bird (meaning = fuck you) is universal.

[BB1]

53. Not quite, though.

In England, you flip someone the bird with your index and middle finger at the same time. Looks kinda dumb, though.

42. I fucking recommended this motherfucker

It reminds me of an ad in Hustler in '75 or 76. What's obscene? Fucking or killing? Awesome fucking post. Really. Words are not dead, blown up, mangled people who were like us. They're just words.

An old lady opens the door Halloween night to see one little boy on her porch, wearing a pirate outfit and a huge black hat.

The kid looks at her indignantly. "They're under my buckin' hat, lady."
