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.

. . . in reply to Inche Abdul Rahman Rashid bin Ali of Kampong Mertang, Negri Sembilan, Tuan Albakri said it was on August 31, 1955, that the Alliance took office as the ruling party and the new Federal Legislative Council was inaugurated . . . The Keeper of the Rulers's Seal, Tuan Haji Mustapha Albakri, provided the definitive explanation for why 31 August was chosen as the date for the proclamation of independence of the Federation of Malaya. On 27 July 1955, Tunku Abdul Rahman led the Alliance to a sweeping electoral victory, winning 51 of the 52 contested seats. The sole exception was the Krian constituency, where Sulaiman Palestin (d. 1996) was defeated by Ahmad Tuan Hussein of PMIP by 8,685 votes to 8,235. Following the election, a meeting with Donald MacGillivray was immediately arranged for 31 July 1955 to discuss the formation of the first cabinet. The list of ministers was finalized and publicly announced on 4 August. On...
The Mandarin word for male and female are nán 男 and nǚ 女, respectively. The design of the glyph for male, nán 男, is rather simple, it is built by stacking blocks of rice field ( 田 ) and labor ( 力 , 力 is abstracted from a picture of an arm) together. Directly translation of the semantic elements gives us: Male 男: worker 力 in the field 田. image/svg+xml The motive force element can also be placed around any position in the field, e.g. on the right hand side 㽖 The Hokkien word for male and female, on the other hand, are completely different. In Hokkien, male is termed tsa-poo while female is called tsa-bóo. And the recommended glyphs by the Ministry of Education of Taiwan are 查埔 and 查某, respectively. For example 這个 旅行團的 查埔 人 比 查某 人 較少 。 We must give our attention to the glyph 查 since it could be describing a common feature found in both male and f...
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.
