Hey jackass!

You forgot "You!"

As you used the word it describes a sexual union.

However, when you add the "You" part, it is an insult, an "in your face" finger.

Oh, nevermind, I see it now, sorry!

You were going for a "word" deletion, not an "idea" deletion.

I don't like censorship of ideas, but you guys are giving the moderators a hard time over being able to use vulgarities. Give them time to think this one over. You've made your points already.

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language is the word "F__K". It is one magical word, which, just by its sound, can describe pleasure, pain, love and hate. In language, "F--K" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John f--ked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was f--ked by John). It can be an active verb (Mary really gives a f--k about John) or a passive verb (John really doesn't give a f--k about Mary), or an adverb, (Mary is f--king interested in John), and as a noun (Mary is a terrible f--k). It can also be used as an adjective (Mary is a f--king pig). As you can see, there are very few words with the versatility of "F--K".

Besides its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many of life's everyday situations.

Greetings: How the f--k are you? Fraud: I got f--ked by the car dealer. Dismay: Oh, f--k it! Trouble: Well, I guess I'm f--ked now. Aggression: F--k you. Disgust: F--k me. Confusion: What the f--k .....? Difficulty: I don't understand this f--king business. Despair F--ked again. Incompetence: He f--ks up everything. Displeasure: What the f--k is going on here? Lost: Where the f--k am I? Disbelief: Unf--kingbelievable! Retaliation: Up your f--king a-s! Indifference: Who gives a f--k

It can be used in an anatomical description: He's a f--king a-shole. It can be used to tell time: It's five f--king thirty. It can be used in business: How did I wind up with this f--king job? It can be maternal, as in Motherf--ker. It can be political: F--k Tip O'Neil.

It has also been used by many notable people throughout history:

"What the f--k was that?" - Mayor of Hiroshima "Where did all these f--king Indians come from?" - General Custer "Where the f--k is all this water coming from?" - Captain of the Titanic "That's not a real f--king gun." - John Lennon "Who's gonna f--king find out?" - Richard Nixon "Heads are going to f--king roll." - Anne Boleyn "Let the f--king woman drive." - Commander of Space Shuttle

"What f--king map?" - "Challenger," Mark Thatcher "Any f--king idiot could understand that." - Albert Einstein

"It does so f--king look like her!" - Picasso "How the f--k did you work that out?" - Pythagoras "You want what on the f--king ceiling?" - Michaelangelo "F--k a duck." - Walt Disney "Why?- Because its f--king there!" - Edmund Hilary "I don't suppose its gonna f--king rain?" - Joan of Arc "Scattered f--king showers my a-s." - Noah "I need this parade like I need a f--king hole in my head." - John F. Kennedy

The mind boggles at the many creative uses of the word!!! How can anyone be offended when you say f--k? Use it frequently in you daily speech -- it will add to your prestige.

Today, say to someone "F--K YOU".

EDITORIAL NOTE:

We can thank the Saxons for that wonderfully descriptive and remarkably adaptable word. In 1362, Middle English became the official language of the Court. This was an amalgam of Norman French and Anglo-Saxon. Gradually the Saxon word "f--k" was replaced.

When I was in the service most of us felt that our masculinity and our acceptance by our peer group was directly related to how frequently and ingeniously we used the F--- word. Several other words and phrases functioned in the same way. This is how we confirmed to each other that we were no longer under our parents' control.

I know how ridiculous this sounds to adults. But it's true all the same.
