My Favorite “F” Word
You’re fucking right
“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.”
― Emily Dickinson
For anyone who knows me at all, it’s no surprise that my favorite f word (let’s be honest here — my favorite word) is fuck.
From the Urban Dictionary itself, fuck is defined as follows:
an extremely flexible, magic word that exists in nearly every part of speech
Indeed, fuck is quite flexible and also pure magical. It stems from anger, love, lust, contentment, confusion, mystic, wonder, curiosity, allowance, freedom. The word itself cannot be defined by one single definition, nor can it be used as just a noun or verb or adverb or adjective. When other words just don’t suffice the emotion warranted, fuck does. When trying to describe a feeling mustering itself in the depths of your essence, the word fuck is uttered a resemblance of release — floating itself away from the mouth when a subtle exhale is not enough. Not enough.
FUCK!
You can scream all you want, but until you use the word fuck, no other scream prevails.
