I do not understand why almost every post uses this word. It has absolutely lost its punch. It means nothing when the masses use it as an every rant word. Is this the only supposed “emphatic” word we know? It is so common place, that it is not emphatic at all.
In some ways the work fuck has become overused. But…lets face it. It is an ugly sounding word. Say it aloud now. Its pure ugliness is the only thing that adequately gives resonance to whatever is pissing us off. I have to admit, there are times it really is overused, but if I am using that word, or any of its many creative derivatives (sp?) I am well and truly frustrated.
I am not creative enough to come up with a new one.
A friend at work and I had a discussion about this. Fuck is the most useful, most satisfying word either of us could come up with. Fuck is the perfect word, in other words.
A really inoffensive phrase, but still quite satisfying. I especially like the “Jeebus” for “Jesus,” the hard “b” having a lot more resonance than the soft “s” in the middle of “Jesus.”
I always thought the British “sod” was an abbreviation for “sodomy.” That to “Sod off” would be to go to Sodom and engage in some hot, sweaty buggering.
Of course in that sense, “sodfucker” would just be too funny.
Ooooh, how I HATE the word C**T. That is truly an ugly word and most demeaning too. However, for shock value it I guess could be more evocative than fuck. I view the c word the same way I view the N word. Both words I don’t use, but that is my personal thing. Both cannot be uttered without bringing the wrath of someone down on one’s head.
Only once have I been called the C word, and woe to the person who called me that to me face. I am not an overly large (yes, could stand to lose about 15 lbs) person, but to watch a 6’5 240 lb man run was something. I guess that was my big button. We are friends now, but he told me he learned a valuable lesson that day. The wrath of a woman is not to be taken lightly.
Ok, lets switch to the word s**t. You guys did such a good job with the first word. Why is poop not satisfying. Isn’t it equally disgusting, but why doesn’t it relieve stress when spoken or yelled out loud.
