it seems english is rather limited when it comes to the number of its swear words. however, its richness derives from the many applications of only a few words. comedian george carlin gave us a list of seven forbidden words in english, but frankly, too tired look them up. my favorite cuss word is fuck. everybody says it, everybody, so it seems, knows its manifold meanings. it is in every u.s. produced film, novel, song and poem. it is an adjective, noun, verb, and all other parts of speech one can think of. it has been used with great wit and imagination, and has been coursely spat out. so my favorite word in english is fuck. what's yrs?
