In high school and college "fuck" was as much a part of my vocabulary as “dude” and “gross” and plain old “like” (as in, “like, that’s so gross, dude”). Saying “what the fuck” when I was annoyed or “fucking awesome” when I was pleasantly pleased was a bit of a rebellious act, since my home was a no-profanity zone. To me, "fuck" was blue collar, adult, and manly, and since I wanted to be a blue-collar adult man, it’s not so surprising that I loved the word. 

Apparently, Rod Blagojevich loves the word too. In building a case against the Illinois governor on corruption charges, the FBI secretly taped his private conversations. Among the things Rod was heard saying:

I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing.

Our recommendation is fire all those fucking people, get ’em the fuck out of there...

Of course all the news networks and FBI spokespersons have replaced “fuck” with “bleep”, in accordance with obscenity laws and decency standards. In other words: "Our recommendation is fire all those bleeping people, get ’em the bleep out of there ... "

Fuck can evoke...
