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.
從吉打 Lembah Bujang 布央谷開車回家,經過怡保的時候剛好是晚餐時間。 在麥當勞用過晚餐後,發現開車的我好像也有點睏了,於是決定在怡保睡一覺。我們把車開到 Bandar Meru Raya ,然後跟 Casuarina 要了一間房間。 隔天早我見小兒子辛円睡到很遲還不願意起床,就拿起手機給他照了一張相 1 。 原想給照片標上:阿円睡到日上三竿 2 ,大太陽曬屁股還不起身。但,住在我頭腦裡面的另外一個人問我: 三竿 到底是 : 點? The timestamp of the photograph was 9:12:09 morning (28 May 2017). The explanation given by National Academy for Educational Research of Taiwan 台灣國家教育研究院 is:太陽已上升到 三根 竹竿相接的 高度 。表示時候不早了。This explanation suggests that ‘三' (three) is to be interpreted vertically and absolutely, instead of umbrally and relative to the physical pole. Given the fact in the phrase 三竿 (three poles) was recorded by an observatory officer, it is unlikely that the former intepretation is correct. 大太陽曬屁股還不起身嗎? 於是我便上網查了一下該成語的出處:「日上三竿」應該是出自《 南齊書・天文誌上・日光色 》的一段話。《南齊書・天文誌》是南齊政府天文局官員根據每日的觀測日記整...

火者亞三 先生是中古馬六甲時代很出名的一條水。 Khoja Hassan (b. 1473, d. 1521) was a rather colorful mantri in Melaka. He was the maritime mantri (水官 Laxamana 1 ) in Melaka, he took over the role from his father-in-law, a certain mister Tuah in Sejarah Melayu. The role was then passed to his brother-in-law 2 when Melaka was about to be sacked by the Portuguese. It is clear from this example that nepotism is deeply integrated in Asiatic court politics. He was of Southern Chinese descent (probably Fujian or Guangdong), but his name reveals that he was a Muslim Chinese. Khoja is linked the Persian word khvâjəh ( خواجه ) and it is originally used to describe a class of Muslim converts in India.

When he was in China, he became the play companion of the 10th Ming Emperor (Zh...
The fact that honeycombs is hexagonal is rather well-known. However, this is only a two-dimensional description of the honeycomb. The three-dimensional description of the honeycomb structure is more interesting, but most people are unaware of it. The base of a honeycomb unit cell is a composite surface formed by three rhombuses A real honeycomb has many cells. Each cell is a special type of hexagonal prism. The usual hexagonal prism has a flat hexagonal base, but the bottom of the honeycomb cell is not flat. The base of a honeycomb unit cell is a composite surface formed by three rhombuses . When many of these unit cells are glued together side-by-side, a slab is formed. And when two of these slabs are glued back-to-back, a honeycomb is formed. When the bases of many honeycomb unit cells are glued together The first person who took the trouble to measure the angle of the honeycomb structure is a French astronomer named Giacomo Filippo Maraldi . In 1712, Marald...
