Fuck!
Vill delge en underbar text som förklarar ett ord som har blivit alldeles för illa behandlat i det engelska språket.
Jag har försökt komma på nån bra svensk motsvarighet, men har ännu inte kommit på nåt.
"One of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word
'fuck'.
It is one magical word: just by its sound it can describe pain,
pleasure, hate and love.
In language it falls into many grammatical
categories.
It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and
intransitive (Mary was fucked by John), and as a noun (Mary is a fine fuck).
It can be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful).
As you can see
there are not many words with the versatility of 'fuck'.
Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the following uses:
Fraud: I got fucked at the used car lot.
Ignorance: Fucked if I know.
Trouble: I guess I am fucked now!
Aggression: Fuck you!
Displeasure: What the fuck is going on here?
Difficulty: I can't understand this fucking job.
Incompetence: He is a fuck-off.
Suspicion: What the fuck are you doing?
Enjoyment: I had a fucking good time.
Request: Get the fuck out of here!
Hostility: I am going to knock your fucking head off!
Greeting: How the fuck are you?
Apathy: Who gives a fuck?
Innovation: Get a bigger fucking hammer.
Surprise: Fuck! You scared the shit out of me!
Anxiety: Today is really fucked.
And it is very healthy too. If every morning you do it as a Transcendental
Meditation - just when you get up, the first thing, repeat the mantra "Fuck
you!" five times - it clears the throat. That's how I keep my throat clear!
Enough for today."
