In the English-speaking world, the word fuck is usually abhorred by many parents because it is a taboo-word to them.
The word is almost as old as the written language. The first recorded use of this monosyallable verb in the English literature can be found in the following 516-year-old lines, composed by the Scottish poet William Dunbar in 1503:
His bony berd was kemd and croppit
Bot all with kaill it wes bedroppit
And he wes townich, fulich and gukkit
He clappit fast, he kist and chukkit
As with the glaikis he wer ourgane
Git be his feirris he wald haif fukkit
Ye brek my hairt, my bony ane!
H. Bellyse Baildon (1907) The poems of William Dunbar, with introduction, notes and glossary, Cambridge University Press, p. 5.
Fuck is perhaps one of the most flexible word in the English language, it can be used (a) as a verb or (b) as an imprecation (as the coarsest version of damn) or (c) as an adverb or (d) as an adjective, because of its expletive nature. For example, if I ignore my coworker's email request for too long, she will come to me and scream:
Fuck!(b) Can you fucking(c) read my email and send me the fucking(d) data?
My coworker is not alone. Tony Robbins, for instance, like to trigger his client verbally because he believes in the science of taboo language and that expletive words have the power to pierce the conscious mind. Robbins's philosophy is that he will do whatever the fuck it takes to break the pattern, so that his clients can reclaim who they really are.

. . .I love that you have such high standards. But those aren't high standards. That's called perfection. And most people overestimate what they can do in a year, and they underestimate what they can do in two or three decades. And you haven't been around long enough to have those extra two or three decades, so don't fuck(a, b) it up. There's time. And if you give yourself just a little bit of time, and if you'll be a little more loving to yourself, I think you're gonna find you got a lot to give. I can fucking(c) feel it. And I know fucking(d) people. And you know I do. . .
Besides its unusual triggering power in motivational speech, fuck is also a strange transitive verb. Because it is normally used with the male subjects, that is, its subject-verb-object (SVO) structure is:
a (male subject) fucks(a) a (female object).
This peculiar property of the verb appears to suggests that the role of a female in the mating process is almost entirely passive. For example, an acquaintance of mine once told me that she was in passive and non-receptive and standoffish mode on her nuptial night, and her God-sent husband was allowed to access her carnally only after many many weeks.
This unidirectional usage is also compatible with the usual meaning of fuck when it is associated with the act of a male having carnal knowledge of a female. However, because copulation is an interactive activity which demands both sexes to coordinate physically and sequentially, I think it is okay to define the word as the act of a female having penile knowledge of a male when she assumes the active position.
But remember not to use this position when you travel to Florida because the missionary position is technically the only legal position in there, and actually the husband can't even kiss the breasts of his wife in the Sunshine State because it is considered unnatural and lascivious.

. . . I pointed out how the Bandar, in refusing to accept terms and in fighting against his Sovereign, was a rebel, and that all who assisted him were rebels. That, as he knew well, two out of his three captains, China, had sided with the Bandar, and had given him (the Bandar) more than moral support in his recent operations. (I here showed him the Chinese document attached, which is an order of the head of the Macaos, Wong Hin, to any of his people to render prompt assistance at any time and in any way to the Bandar) . . . . after some more conversation we parted, but shortly afterward he brought to our quarters the two captains, China, I had been advising him about, Wong Hin and Ugoli Kim, and said that, as the Governor had sent me to assist him, he had made up his mind to put the management of everything into my hands . . .

As explained in Part I of the article, instead of building their house with the easy method of hexagonal top + hexagonal bottom , honeybees are building their cells with hexagonal top + rhombic bottom . In this article, I will try to give a calculus-based demonstration on how the honeybees achieve the economization of their wax resources with a rhombic angle of 70°32'. Suppose we start with a hexagonal prism with flat bottom like the one shown in the figure above. Let \( AB = a\), \(A''A = b\). Then it can be shown that the surface area \(S_0\) and the volume \(V\) of this prism are: $$S_0= 6ab + \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}a^2, \quad V = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}a^2b$$ respectively. Mark a point \(B'\) on the prism so that \(B'B'' = x\) and slice a tetrahedron from the prism along the line \(A''C''\) through point \(B'\). Then, flip and rearrange the sliced tetrahedron on top of the prism, as shown below. If you repeat this proc...
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as guidance to man and clear proof of guidance, and criterion (of falsehood and truth). So when you see the new moon you should fast the whole month. Surah al-Baqarah, verse 185. English translation by Ahmed Ali (1993) Al-Quran: A comtemporary translation, Princeton University Press, Priceton. The original text reads: شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًۭى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍۢ فَعِدَّةٌۭ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ١٨٥ The first day of the 10th month in Islamic lunar calendar, \(s\), is know as Eid al-Fitr عيد الفطر .
