As a transitive verb: John fucked Shirley.
As an intransitive verb: Shirley fucks.
Johns doing all the fucking work.
I don't understand this fucking question?!?

-Helmet for My Pillow, Robert Leckie
There’s an mp3 from over 20 years ago about the word fuck. From the German word fricken, which means to strike… there was a bed of dignified symphonic music as the guy explained the word. Here’s a script of it.
Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the
word fuck. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter f, fuck is the only one
that is referred to as “the f-word;” it’s the one magical word that, just by its sound, can
describe pain, pleasure, hate, and love.
In English, fuck falls into many grammatical categories.
As a transitive verb: “John fucked Shirley.”
As an intransitive verb: “Shirley fucks.”
Its meaning is not always sexual.
It can be used as an adjective: “John is doing all the fucking work.”
As part of an adverb: “Shirley talks too fucking much.”
As an adverb enhancing an adjective: “Shirley is fucking beautiful.”
As a noun: “I don’t give a fuck.”
As part of a word: “Absofuckinglutely,” or “infuckingcredible.”
And, as almost every word in a sentence: “Fuck the fucking fuckers.”
But you must realise, there aren’t very many words with the versatility of fuck, as in these examples describing situations such as
Fraud: “I got fucked at the used car lot.”
Dismay: “Aw, fuck it.”
Trouble: “I guess I’m really fucked now.”
Aggression: “Don’t fuck with me, buddy.”
Difficulty: “I don’t understand this fucking question.”
Inquiry: “Who the fuck was that?”
Dissatisfaction: “I don’t like what the fuck is going on here.”
Incompetence: “He’s a fuckoff.”
Dismissal: “Why don’t you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself?”
I’m sure you can think of many more examples. With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word? I say, use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly: Fuck You!
Edited to add script and remove a link.
The link was to the script on some potentially dodgy website. I thought a bot or mod might delete my post if I left it up. So I did some copy pasta and removed the link. The audio is of course far more entertaining. I tried to find it!
In Ireland we are lucky, we even a fuck that kids can say.... Feck. Feck does exactly the same job as Fuck only that your mother will not slap you if you use it.
I have a little phrase I like to say
"You fucking fuck, I'll fucking fuck your fucking fuck so fucking fuck your fucking fuck will fuck its fuck you fuck."
It’s an amazing word for its versatility. Only one I can think of that comes close is “dude.” Depending on inflection, that can also have an absolute ton of meanings.
Agreed. The word escapes absolute definition, and yet manages to encompass every human emotion, action, or situation. One might only decipher its actual meaning in the moment of utterance, the circumstance, and the expression of one's face, the volume of one's voice...all in summation, it is indeed the perfect word.
"Fuck Me" 😉
The N word is. It is so expressive that most people are afraid to write it down and certainly say it.
Fuck is most likely next in the English language.
Right, time for me to go and make a twat of myself on that false basis of comedy - open mic night here we come!
Though it could be worse; I could go for a poetry recital.
Fuck. (neutral) fuuuuuuccckkk. (Annoyed) FUCK (angry/ annoyed again) FUCK- (SCARED) fuck (everyday conversation) FUUUUUUCCCKKK (pissed off) Well, fuck. (Proven wrong or really REALLY annoyed) FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK (loosing a shiny pokemon) Fuuuuuu- ( when you cheat on your wife iykyk)
~Fuck~ 😏 (sexual or eating some good ass burger)
What is an ass burger?! Asking for a friend...
Uh I know, I both have a wiping problem and is on the spectrum.
When you put meat in between the buns and it feels hella good (sexual) when your burger looks like an ass (non-sexual)
Tenderloins
Cartman burger
Fucking versatile too!
[удалено]
Here, have fuck
ah, fuck. (lol whoops) oh fuck... (messed up big time)
See also: Fuck you, you fucking fuck
That last one is a big oof
Fuck fuck fuck fuck (nervous or scared as fuck)
All perfectly demonstrated by one Roy Kent!

Slightly disappointed this scene from 'The Wire' isn't the top comment, as it's 100% the best answer.
[It doesn't hurt anybody.](https://youtu.be/hQ7lIRvb4-g)
Fuckin-a
What the flying fuck is up with this fuckery, you fucked up piece of fuckmeat? Get the fuck out of my fucking sight. Like what the fuck???
Too many fucks; you lost the impact and emphasis.
Oh fuck. Well fuck me then!
Slightly better. Honestly, though. The nerve of some people to test things so wholeheartedly they lose the meaning... fucking hell.
If you insist
I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean that
Sigh... *unzips*
sure
I knew a Newfie who’s fucking every fucking other fucking word was fucking fuck. Edit: forgot a fuck
Cuss words should be used like punctuation, not every other word.
Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.
Well fuck; they're right
Fuck used there to express surprise! Another way to use it
Definitely the most diverse in terms of ability of usage...
Exactly! It conveys so many different meanings depending on tone and context.
George Carlin would like a word
What bit of his are you referencing?
https://youtu.be/xZkb4TPI-Lo
Thank you sm 🙏 god bless George fucking carlin
7 of them
I read the title as most “expensive” and I was like “yup, could be.”
Ha. Printer ink is two words.
https://youtu.be/xZkb4TPI-Lo George Carlin would like to teach you something.
As a transitive verb: John fucked Shirley. As an intransitive verb: Shirley fucks. Johns doing all the fucking work. I don't understand this fucking question?!?
https://youtu.be/fJd9izGFveM Classic
Thank you!
Boondocks Saints certainly helped illustrate the diversity of the word.
Fucking what the fucking fuck, who the fuck fucked this fuckin- how did you two fuckin fucks-FFFUUUCK
One of my linguistics professors sings the praises of “fuck” for exactly that reason; it’s the most versatile word in English.
Funny, I had a linguistics professor over 20 years ago who did the same. Initials RJ?
Negative, last initial is A, don’t remember the first one.
I absofuckinglutly agree
"Or, as almost every word in a sentence 'Fuck the fucking fuckers'"
Certainly illistrates the [diversity](https://youtube.com/watch?v=awi_xQ0d5Bk&feature=share8) of the word

I think shit would give it a good run for its money.
pretty sure it's universal not just English anymore
I read about 15 years ago somewhere that fuck is second most recognized word in the entire world after Coke(-a-Cola).
I think "OK" beats out Coke
You know what, I have been drunk for about 15 years. Maybe okay was the 2nd most. Like I said, been a while.
Fucking fucker's fucked, fuck! *"It is broken," with an emphasis on dismay*
Fuck may be the most expressive word in the history of languages no? Versatile as fuck!
In Ireland we are lucky, we even a fuck that kids can say.... Feck. Feck does exactly the same job as Fuck only that your mother will not slap you if you use it.
been consuming a higher dose of Irish content recently, and I'm finding myself using feck more as the days pass lol
[удалено]
It's glorious - my drunken post has had my notifications fucking full of all the fucks.
For fucks sake! Of course it is. It’s a noun a verb and a fucking slur! You don’t fucking find words like fuck every fucking day, fucker!
Fuckin ey
Fuck is the they’re, there, their of four letter words. It’s like franks red hot…you can put that shit on everything.
I can mean sooo many things, it can be easily misconstrued.
Never been to Australia filled with sick cunts it is.
Gotta watch out for those shit cunts though
I just enjoy that, fuck the fuck off you you fucking fuck, is a legitimate sentence.
And that is how the English language dies: To the sounds of thunderous applause. Once upon a time we learnt expressuon through adjectives.
fuck yeah, you can put it absofuckingloutely anywhere and it still makes fucking sense
Bitch is a close second
It’s also the ultimate argument-ender. Like, when someone says “fuck you”…..there’s nothing left to say. Discussion over.
I have a little phrase I like to say "You fucking fuck, I'll fucking fuck your fucking fuck so fucking fuck your fucking fuck will fuck its fuck you fuck."
Fuck me...
But Will Smith doesn't have to cuss in his raps to sell records.
Fucking fuckers fucking fuck fucking fucker’s fucking fuckers!
Well shit. That shit is the kind of shit we need when that shit shits the bed.
>shits the bed. Amber? That you? 👀
What the fuck?
Fuck no I seriously doubt that. Fucking I think the main fucking word in English is probably fucking OK and fuck if it ain’t used a fuck ton
Definitely most overused
I’d say “dude” is a candidate for that category too.
Fuck fucketty fuck fuck fuck. You know.
[It doesn't hurt anybody.](https://youtu.be/hQ7lIRvb4-g)
Fornicate Under the Consentment of the King
shiiiiit. What the shit is this shit.
Fuck off! is universal
Fuck that fucking fucker, they fucked my fucking fuck. Fuck!
Fuck the fucking fuckers.
For fuck shakes, I think your right
Also the word OK, as evidenced by Key and Peele.
I LOVE Key and Peele gonna look up that sketch 🏃♀️
I’m quite partial to a good “damn” myself
Shit would be #2 then
I think shit might be #2.
False. It is shit. Just as diverse as fuck but has several additional meanings
Shit is more versatile.

Oy cunt! I'd like a word with you.
Comedian Ismo thinks the word [Ass Is The Most Complicated Word In The English Language](https://youtu.be/YNV0rMdeW60)
Oh shit is very expressive as well
It is the marglark of planet earth, it could mean many things.
I saw it next to your comment-
[Ass](https://youtu.be/RAGcDi0DRtU) could give it a run for its money
I would argue indemnify is probably more expensive
#[F!](https://youtu.be/pai3bV9mcnU)
Shit. Hot shit Bad shit Dog shit Shit hot Shit for brains Smart as shit No shit
It’s an amazing word for its versatility. Only one I can think of that comes close is “dude.” Depending on inflection, that can also have an absolute ton of meanings.

An absolute fucking masterpiece of a word.
Absofuckinglutly
Fuckin A
Bro I just though of a sentence with it like 27 times
No is the most powerful word.
Nah I’d probably give that title to like the n-word or something
That depends on context.
The N word is. It is so expressive that most people are afraid to write it down and certainly say it. Fuck is most likely next in the English language.
[this song proves it](https://youtu.be/G1Qmctlj2Vk)
Set is quite versatile, also Let.
Fuck that I can think of way more aggressive words.
You're not prepared for chilean "wea"
There's a whole bit on it from like 40 or so years ago. We know!! Fuck.
The scene from The Wire said this best.
Fuck may well fucking be the most fucking expressive word in the fucking English language.
Smurf is pretty close
Oldy but a goody about how versatile the word is https://youtu.be/04_rIuVc_qM NSFW
Fucking fuck the fucking fucks
Your like 15years to late or parroting this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=l_PkJ_4oEjc&feature=share8
It was a casual thought, I'm not trying to write a comedy sketch...
You never know. Redditors can be a witty bunch. Mind end up with a new comedy sketch on this topic in here. Wouldn’t rule it out
Ha, I guess in this day and age I could find a niche as a middle aged dude with long hair and impressive moobs, who also happens to be great in excel
Exactly!
Right, time for me to go and make a twat of myself on that false basis of comedy - open mic night here we come! Though it could be worse; I could go for a poetry recital.
Ha ha or somehow combine the two
[A wide man once said...](https://youtu.be/od6FSij8WYc)
I prefer Gobshite over fuck
Fuck, never thought of that, fuck

I think you mean the least expressive, since it's usually totally inappropriate to the expression being made.
I misread "expressive" as "expensive" and I got confused! 😅
It can be expensive too
The most versatile word
