76. The word "fuck" can be any part of a sentence.

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language is the word "Fuck." It is the one magical word, which, just by it's sound describes pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language, "Fuck" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John). It can be an active verb (Mary doesn't really give a fuck); or an adverb (Mary is really fucking interested in John); and as a noun, (Mary is a terrific fuck). It can be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful). As you see, there are very few words with the versatility of "Fuck."

Besides It's sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations:

It can be used in an anatomical description

"He's a fucking asshole."

It can be used to tell time

"It's five fucking thirty."

It can be used in business

"How did I end up with this fucking job?"

It can be maternal

as in "Motherfucker."
