(24,936 posts)The swiss army knife of words, considering their utility.
I had a buddy that hung with my group back in the late 60's (HS). He could use the word fuck, multiple times in a sentence. Literally say almost nothing if you took his fuck words out of his sentences. I asked him, one time, "Ray, what did you just say? Use other words to explain without the fuck word."
That pissed him off and we never good friends after that.

Swearing Holds Surprising Benefits: A Sign Of Intelligence?
