As a noun, verb and adjective.
So Peyo should sue.
And you should all go wash your mouths with soap and water.
(This holds true in spite of the fact that I am too lazy to come up with a good example.)
Yet you have the nerve to complain about people using the word “whilst”.
[Expletive deleted].
How is it used as an adjective?
“Fucking”. Or is that an adverb?
The adverb would, I guess, be “fuckwise”
Not an adverb either. It could be a gerund as in, “You need a good fucking”. It can be a modifier like, “A fucking good time”. Obviously a verb and I even have a friend who uses it as a conversation filler. I can’t see it being used as an adjective though.
Fuckable or fuckless are good adjectives but not fucking I’m afraid.
Hmmm, I see I am called upon to support my arguments.
Well…
How about “fucked-up”?
I always liked the phrase: ‘Hoist by his own petard’
Petard? That’s a town hall, isn’t it? Popular place for hangings, so I understand.
No, it’s actually a small bomb used to blow in a door or gate, as in Hamlet:
(Bonus point if you know which character, act and scene.)
You leave my ‘town halls’ out of this.
<rhyming slang to the uninnitiated>
Bloody Hamlet !
“You’re only supposed blow the bloody doors off!” - Michael Caine, ‘The Italian Job’. Not many people know that.
Nobody who uses the little blue “S” word in this or any other forum, board or chatroom has any right to complain about anything at any time whatsoever!!! :mad:
Such people are also pimples on a dog’s ass.
Pteor smite you and your Peyo with boils!
That doth it, Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor!
Don’t make me quote the Bard at thee again.
Mersavets, “fucking” is a present participle, of course you can use it as a fucking adjective.
You could even use it legitimately, as in “I was kept awake all night by the fucking couple next door, why do they have to do it up against the wall all the time?”
Excuse me… I feel a sudden urge to wash my mouth out with soap…
“… Boy did it make a fucking noise. They were certainly fuckwise knocking on the wall!”
No? You do better then.
Ah yes, 'hoist by her own fuck ‘ard’
how about this?
When I extend my middle finger to you, and invite you to sit and rotate, please rotate fuckwise"
Steve Wright, I don’t agree. By your reasoning, you are suggesting that present participles as a part of speech are a subset of adjectives. They traditionally aren’t classified as such in English. Present Participles are a type of verb but I said that already. I can also see how fucking might function as an adverb but it just doesn’t do it for me as an adjective.f
I thought about this tidbit years ago. For all I know, many other people have noticed as well, and hell - it may even have been the topic of a thread here once.
Anyway, am I the only one who sees that Peyo’s books were really drug stories, disguised as children’s books?
Some hints:
1- Isn’t it interesting that Pierre Culliford chose “Peyo” as a nom de plume? I mean, that does remind one of “peyote,” does it not?
2- The Schtroumpfs (Smurfs, in the original French) live in houses that are shaped like mushrooms. Magic 'shrooms, anyone?
3- Little blue men? 'Nuff said.
4- A little more far fetched: the sworn enemy of the Schtroumpfs, Gargamel (I assume his name is the same in English), made his way to their village a few times - but never without help. Whenever he tries to get back there, he can’t do it. Even his cat can’t help him. I don’t know, but that sounds a lot like some acid “trip,” where someone reaches a certain state of mind that they really enjoy, but are never able to reach it again, no matter how much LSD they consume after that.
Anyway, pointless hijack ends here. Please, carry on.
This fucking fuck is so fucking fucked I can’t fucking take it; to fucking think that the fucking fucks on this fucking board fucking can’t get a fucking clue about the fucking “fucks” these fucking fucks fuck up. Fuck that.
