So many Americans use the word fuck that it has lost it's meaning. From Hollywood stars to that guy who lives at 34th and Massachusetts, the word "FUCK" has lost its power and is now just an adjective & adverb describing "very". Congrats, America, you finally get it.
A lot of people are talking about Vice President's use of the word Fuck in his recent comment to President Obama regarding the health care bill.
Biden says, "This is a big fucking deal."
Gee, he's not cursing out the deal.
He's not describing some kind of sexual act.
It would seem that he's just expressing his excitement.
Which is exactly how a zillion other Americans express themselves. I never realized how much people use the F word until I read Stephen King - a LOT of Stephen King books - but by the time I was done (in college) I had a ton of friends who used the word Fuck all the time: mostly musicians and artists, the creative liberals who made up my world. At first thought I was a little ashamed that we all lacked creativity to use other, better, more descriptive words because we pretty much swore like sailors about everything: our parents, our teachers, cafeteria food, the price of gas, really bad movies, the jerks who stole my girlfriends, etc. But in retrospect, we were the harbingers of the future. Grammar Police Beware: someday soon, the word Fuck will enter the vernacular and end up being used as the Romans used the word res, rei, etc. -- a multifunctional word that means whatever you want it to mean in context, and nothing you mean OUT of context.
Thank you, America, for finally getting to the future. I was bored with the past. So FUCKING bored. Now if we can just find the meanest, nastiest word to replace the former meaning of fuck.
