I' m writing this because--well maybe--I'm ranting!
Why is f*ck that great (I'm referring to the word a**hole)? I am totally astounded. There's the hype of Led Zeppelin's comeback that's scoring from the "cool" mob comments like "that was f*
cking awesome...f*
cking Christ...etc..." Then came
Tori Amos's wild (and plastic sounding?) on-stage "support" for the striking Hollywood writers. She blurted out: "Writers! Writers! Where are you in this f*
cking town? When you gonna stand up and stop sucking the cock of the infested corporate clone? Seize the power!"
Even the
song that's recently eating me up sings of f*ck in it. I also like Tori
Amos's music but her f*
cking ways are just displeasing.
Maybe it's for the lack of skills to write poetry.
A case of stupidity.
Chicken heads just trying to follow the trend.
Writers getting pissed off by their bosses or their own lives.
Corrupted music or art?
A case of revolting (and sex-starved) "deviance?"
I am not discounting talent among rockers and rappers. I am not promoting mushiness or plain
monotony in any way. But why is
Alicia Keys still a force without the magic f*ck word?
I don't know but all art seems to vanish when paired with the ubiquitous
coolsome word. My appreciation for soul in live performances in concerts also crumbles when I hear the overly popular keyword. Respect for directors and scriptwriters I lose as they try to assert that f*ck scenes and lines are necessary for their stories, when they're obviously not.
I am not religious or trying to be preachy here. Matter of fact, I am atheist. I am not singling the word out for morality reasons. I'm annoyed or I am just bothered over how many have become so misled in their attempts to "express art." If uttering balderdash vulgarisms is cool, I couldn't imagine what's to come next.
In case the person reading this does not know what f*ck means, he/she should read further. Notice how dictionaries try to provide new definitions for the word. Thanks to pudding heads who keep using them any how they could.

Etymology
...The word f*ck has cognates in other Germanic languages, such as German ficken (to copulate), Middle Dutch fokken (to thrust, copulate, or to breed), dialectical Norwegian fukka (to copulate), and dialectical Swedish focka (to strike, copulate) and fock (penis)....
...There are several urban-legend false etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. None of these acronyms was ever heard before the 1960s, according to the authoritative lexicographical work, The F-Word, and thus are backronyms. In any event, the word f*ck has been in use far too long for some of these supposed origins to be possible. Some of these urban legends are:-
- That the word f*ck came from Irish law. If a couple were caught committing adultery, they would be punished "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge In the Nude", with "f*ckIN" written on the stocks above them to denote the crime.
- That it came from any of:-
- "Fornication Under Carnal/Cardinal Knowledge"
- "Fornication Under [the] Control/Consent/Command of the King"
- "Fornication Under the Christian King"
- "False Use of Carnal Knowledge"
- "Felonious Use of Carnal Knowledge"
- "Felonious Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"
- "Full-On Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"
- "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"
- "Found Under Carnal Knowledge"
- "Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", referring to the crime of rape.
Usage
...Its first known use as a verb meaning to have sexual intercourse is in "Flen flyys", written around 1475.
William Dunbar's 1503 poem "Brash of Wowing" includes the lines: "Yit be his feiris he wald haue fukkit: / Ye brek my hairt, my bony ane" (ll. 13-14).
Some time around 1600, before the term acquired its current meaning, windf*cker was an acceptable name for the bird now known as the kestrel[citation needed].
While Shakespeare never used the term explicitly; he hinted at it in comic scenes in several plays. The Merry Wives of Windsor (IV.i) contains the expression focative case (see vocative case). In Henry V (IV.iv), Pistol threatens to firk (strike) a soldier, a euphemism for f*ck. A Midsummer Night's Dream uses the word "foot" to pun on the French equivalent, "foutre"....
...In April 1997, clothing retailer French Connection began branding their clothes "fcuk" (usually written in lowercase). Though they insisted it was an acronym for French Connection United Kingdom, its similarity to the word "f*ck" caused controversy.[7] French Connection fully exploited this and produced an extremely popular range of t-shirts with messages such as "fcuk this", "hot as fcuk", "mile high fcuk", "fcuk me", "too busy to fcuk", "fcuk football", "fcuk fashion", "fcuk fear", "fcuk on the beach", etc. The company recently announced that the "fcuk" label is to be phased out.......f*ck is not widely used in politics, and because of this, any use by notable politicians tends to produce controversy. Some events of this nature include:
- During the 1968 Democratic National Convention, Chicago mayor Richard Daley became so enraged by a speech from Abraham A. Ribicoff that he shouted "f*ck you, you Jew motherf*cker!" Daley would later claim that he was shouting "you fink, you" and calling Ribicoff a "faker."
- During a 1971 debate in the House of Commons, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau mouthed the words "f*ck off" under his breath (perhaps almost silently) at Conservative MP John Lundrigan, while Lundrigan made some comments about unemployment. Afterward, when asked by a television reporter what he said, Mr. Trudeau famously replied "Oh, I don't know... fuddle duddle, or something like that". "Fuddle duddle" consequently became a catchphrase in Canadian media associated with Trudeau.
- The first modern use in the British House of Commons came in 1982 when Reg Race, Labour MP for Wood Green, referred to adverts placed in local newsagents by prostitutes which read "Phone them and f*ck them". Hansard, the full record of debates, printed "f*** them", but even this euphemism was deprecated by the Speaker, George Thomas....
...In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission fines stations for the broadcast of "indecent language", but in 2003 the agency's enforcement bureau ruled that the airing of the statement "This is really, really f*cking brilliant!" by U2 member Bono after receiving a Golden Globe Award was neither obscene nor indecent. As U.S. broadcast indecency regulation only extends to depictions or descriptions of sexual or excretory functions, Bono's use of the word as a mere intensifier was not covered....
Alternatives
In conversation or writing, reference to or use of the word f*ck may be replaced by any of a large list of alternative words or phrases, including "the F-word" or "the F-Bomb" (a play on A-Bomb / H-Bomb), or simply, "eff" (as in "What the eff!" or "You eff-ing fool!"). In addition, there are many commonly used substitutes, such as flipping, frigging, fricking, freaking, fire-truck or any of a number of similar sounding nonsense words....

Most if not all Will Smith movies I've seen seemed engaging. They had the factor to get an audience glued to the screen. Now, Smith's bankability breaks records as his latest movie debuted with $76.5 million.

Just cancelled my multi-million life insurance today (the "multi-million" is really intended:)). Why? Aside from the typographical mistakes on my policy, I thought I'm kind'a invincible. I seldom get into compromising situations. I don't think I'd die young as I expected. So why pay for life insurance?
