Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in English language today is the word "fuck".
It is the magical word which, just by sound can describe pain, pleasure, love and hate. In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John). It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), and adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), or as a noun (Mary is a terrible fuck).
