In regard to some thoughts and debate on the topic….

To answer first to my dear friend:
Even though a lot of people you may know, my dear, does not see it as a bad thing… cause i have to admit even i know a good number… doesn’t mean that it is still justified to use them.
Even though they are expressed differently and even though they sound different in a manner, it just doesn’t seem appropriate.
My debate still maintains that even though they are words and are considered to be slangs in this modern generation…they are still inappropriate. Probably the world may not agree to it, cause it has been over used extensively in every corner till it has become a norm. But i am no judge to a person as to what they want to use, or more so how they perceive the word to be. Only a thought…

A little history on the word f*** :…
Word History:
The obscenity f*** is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500.
The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, “Flen flyys,” from the first words of its opening line, “Flen, flyys, and freris,” that is, “fleas, flies, and friars.” The line that contains fuck reads “Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk.” The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “they [the friars] are not in heaven, since.”
The code “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields “fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven because they f*** wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge].”
Now in anycase, after reading what the word itself means. All the more i do not wish to use, as it should not be used. Even to express happiness, sadness, anger, or even just a slang. The word as it is explained in www.dictionary.com, all the descriptions for it are distasteful to the ear if one reads them. Having read them. Now why would one like putting slangs like these into sentences that are meant to be of compliment or of expression.
When you say “My, you are a beautiful person.” as compared to “My, you are a f****** beautiful person”. When you say something you mean, why impurify it with the slangs. Indirectly it is as though you say angrily to the person or in some perverse mock that she/he is beautiful. It’s not about interpretation here, what i type. But more so, it is the fact of the word that it is vulgar.
Too much of the media and post-modernism has caused everything to have a double meaning. Even as something as simple as this. Why does one think then, that that which is supposedly good is actually in truth bad?
