There is a word which is one of the most used, useful and flexible words in the English language.
But no teacher will teach it.
No politician will say it in public.
And no advertisement will display it.
You would be fired if you used it in work, and your mother would be angry if you used it in her presence.
Welcome to…THE ART OF “FUCK”
We believe this is the
only place where you can learn the F-word, and how to use it correctly. We
treat the word like we treat any other word: as a verb, an adjective, a noun –
and as part of a phrasal verb.
We’ll start off easy, and get more difficult as we continue…Let’s begin!

First, another warning.
DO NOT USE THIS WORD if you are:
- Talking to or writing to a superior (boss, teacher, parent, etc.)
- Talking to or writing to a person you don’t know
- Speaking or writing formally (for example, in a business report or thesis)
- Making copy (advertising text)

ONLY USE IT if you:
a) have no problem with swearing;
b) are talking to someone who has no problem swearing;
c) know how and why to use it.
The last point is very difficult. Here are our first few examples:

The last point is very difficult. Here are our first few examples:
“FUCK!”
Use it when… you’re really angry...for any reason.
Usage: Use it alone, like “cazzo” in
Italian, “a-ship-ol” in Korean, or “merde” in French.
“TO FUCK” [verb]
Meaning: to have sex
For example…
“Let’s fuck.” / ”It’s a bad idea to fuck your
colleague.” / “Fucking is a healthy part of any
relationship.”
Usage: an
intransitive verb (it doesn’t need another noun after it)
“FUCK____” [phrasal verb]
fuck OFF:
go away
Use it when… you’re really angry with another person
Usage: an intransitive phrasal verb (it doesn’t need another noun after it)

fuck [somebody] OVER: betray somebody
For example… “His boss fucked him over by firing him without any warning.” / “He slept with another girl? How could he fuck his girlfriend over like that?”
Usage: a separable phrasal verb (it needs a noun, which can go before the preposition “over” or after)
fuck UP: make a huge mistake or ruin something
For example… “I fucked up during the presentation: I completely
forgot what to talk about.” / “They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean it but they do….But they were fucked up in their turn” [Philip Larkin, poet]

fuck WITH [somebody]: lie to sb
For example…
“Don’t fuck with me – tell me the truth!” / “The criminal tried to fuck with
the policeman during his interview.”
Usage: an
inseparable phrasal verb (it needs a noun, which can only go after the
preposition “with”)
fuck AROUND: hang around, not doing much
For example… “Stop fucking around: do some work!” / “The kid was just fucking around on the street instead of going to school.”
Usage: an intransitive phrasal verb (it doesn’t need another noun after it)
Now you have learned a
lot. It gets pretty difficult after this: we see “fuck” being used in a very
artistic way. If you want to read more, let’s go!
“FUCKED” [adjective]
Use it when… you’re angry because something is broken, ruined or destroyed
For example: “My car was fucked after the accident.” / “You’re late home and now your dinner is fucked.”)

For example: “My car was fucked after the accident.” / “You’re late home and now your dinner is fucked.”)
The next
adjective is probably the most useful, and the most difficult, ways to use this
word. There are 2 different ways…
“FUCKING” [adjective] +
[noun]
Use it when… you’re angry or amazed because of a thing [noun]
For example: “That fucking class was horrible.” / “The fucking bus is late.” / “That fucking movie was amazing.” / “I’m in fucking love with that beautiful girl.”

“W__ the FUCK?”
Use it when… you’re asking a question because you’re angry, scared or surprised
For example: “What the fuck?!” / “What the fuck was that noise?!” / “Who the fuck are you?!” / “You’re from Ballymun? Where the fuck is that?!” / “You’re late – where the fuck are you?!” / “Why the fuck should I give you my money?!”
Usage: First, say the “W” word which begins the question (What / Who / Where / Why / When ). Next, insert “the fuck” for your emphasis. You could stop there (for example, What the fuck?). But we usually continue the question until the end.
