  1. Such language! What would your Mothers think?! Would you kiss them with those dirty mouths?!

  2. MORE ON “FUCK”

    “Fuck” is without doubt, among certain classes, the most commonplace expression in the English language. Denoting a strong linguistic connection its Anglo-Saxon roots – French scatology, for example, leans more to the sacramental than to the corporeal – it also displays great versatility as it can be used as a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb but – and this is important – it’s meaning is context-dependent. In other words, the simple word “fuck,” lacking such context, is meaningless. Consequently, this bitch is also meaningless.

    A pleasure as always,

    Cheerio!

  3. Au contraire, MM, the OB’s post is absolutely rife with meaning, which we as readers are free to seek. What other word in all the Anglo-Saxon tongues conveys anger or frustration so succinctly?

  4. Au contraire Halkell, the OB’s post is without meaning. Where meaning is to be understood in terms of the prior possession of the concept in terms of which the object or occasion of his frustration is to be comprehended, to simply utter “Fuck” not only lacks such prior possession but indeed is little more than an emotive grunt we share with the lower animals. To say that it is “rife with meaning” is to completely misconceive the nature of meaning itself.
