@lisamelton Also: One of my favorite words in the English language. It conveys so much meaning and emotional resonance, and is so variable.
I use "fuck" a lot for the same reason. One of the most variable words in the English language.
And as someone who spent a quarter century writing for a living, I think people who are hung up on swearing need to get over their shit because they're just fucking wrong. I'll stop short of actually calling them stupid motherfuckers but you bet I thought it.
