What the f*ck does that mean? Hi guys, in  today's video we're going to look into one  

of the English language's most versatile, popular,  and offensive words. What is the meaning of f*ck?  

Well, it depends on the context. F*ck is  omnipresent in English-speaking countries,  

you'll hear it every f*cking where for every  f*cking situation. F*ck me that's great news.  

Oh f*ck me, I can't f*cking believe it. Oh f*ck  me you've scared the f*cking life out of me.  

F*ck me, will he stop f*cking talking, yeah. You  get the idea. So what the f*ck makes this word so  

special. One of the most interesting things about  the word f*ck is that it's so versatile, you can  

use it as a verb, usually meaning to have sex.  Helen and Paul f*cked last night at the party.  

An adjective. Oh, that party was f*cked up. A  noun. I don't give a f*ck that I wasn't invited  

to the party. An adverb. That party was f*cking  awesome. A phrasal verb. I think I saw Helen and  

Paul f*cking around last night at the party.  An imperative. F*ck you Helen's my girlfriend.  

Compound words. Motherf*cker, f*ckhead, f*ckface.  And you could put it in the middle of a word  

to add emphasis. Last night's party was  abso-fucking-lutely mental. Basically, you can use  

f*ck for f*cking everything. F*ck yeah! Here's an  example of how versatile f*ck can be. "F*ck! The  

f*cking f*ckface abso-f*cking-lutely f*cked over  that stupid f*cker from the party? So, we have:

1. F*ck! - An interjection 2. F*cking - an adjective 

3. F*ckface - a compound noun 4. f*cked over - a phrasal verb 

5. f*cker - noun and… 6. abso-f*cking-lutely - Expletive infixation

Who do we have to thank for our favorite bad word? A popular story about the origin of the word fuck,  

is that it came from a time when sex was only  permitted if the King gave explicit permission.  

The lucky lovers who were given the green light  would put a sign up on the door which read,  

“Fornication Under Consent of King”. F. U. C.  K. It’s a great story, but it’s not a true one!  

When we look back in history, it’s actually quite  difficult to find early uses of the word “f*ck” as  

it was probably considered too taboo to be written  down. The Oxford dictionary claim that it wasn’t  

widely used until as late as the 16th century.  Its origin is most likely Germanic and probably  

derived from a similar word which had the meaning  “to strike”. Despite The Oxford Dictionary’s  

prestige, there are some who dispute this claim.  In fact, historian Paul Booth made the headlines  

in 2015 when he supposedly discovered the first  use of the word “f*ck” with a sexual connotation.  

In documents dated between 1310 -  1311, the name “Roger F*ckebythenavele”  

appears seven f*cking times! Booth argues that  the surname “F*ckebythenavele” was most likely  

a nickname meaning someone who is so stupid  that they try to have sex with the bellybutton….

Although its early usage is disputed, there is  no f*cking doubt about its popularity today.  

In fact, a university in Ohio found in 2014 that  “f*ck” accounted for 34.7% of all swearwords  

used on Twitter. With “sh&t” and “ass” trailing  behind with a measly 15% and 14% respectively. 

Despite its popular use, just remember that  it’s usually not the appropriate *BLEEP* time  

to use this unique, offensive but  oddly beautiful, four-letter word.
