    You neglect the versatility of our tabboo language, too!

    Take English’s favorite swear: Fuck.

    Fuck is:

    • Noun - “You sick fuck.”
    • Verb - “I’d fuck it.”
    • Adjective - “A fucked-up situation.”
    • Superlative - “Un-fucking-believable.”

    It can be used to express:

    • Joy - “Fuck yes!”
    • Horror - “Oh fuck…”
    • Sensuality - “Fuck me~”
    • Resignation - “Fuck me…”
    • Anger - “Fuck you!”
    • Condolences - “That’s fucked…”

    And that’s just scratching the surface!
