Men and the F-Word?

Well, you have never hung out with a group of my girlfriends.....

If "milk makes cookies soggy", be sure to avoid drinking milk, while on the computer.

Nah, I have spent plenty of time in all-women groups who use the f-word, like, a LOT. Me included. It's a mode thing, that seems to have less to do with gender than things like work/ play, goofy/ serious, etc.

littlek:

I've never seen women in groups of 5+ just stand around and say
"F-......F-...." for ever and ever and ever. Some men seem to know only this one word to "express " their feelings.

sozobe:

Women in groups have a different dynamic than men in groups. Basically women aren't even groupies. That's why they've had a hard time in both sports and business management.

My wife gets once a month swearing lessons in her English course. Now she used the f-word, and other related ones, in her English almost as much as she does in her Spanish equivalents.



Muy chingón patiodog, muy chingón.

One big difference about Mexican "chingar" and American "to f*ck" is that our verb has also several positive meanings.
For example, and easy to translate: "Sammy Sosa es un bateador chingón".

[Monger, your insult site offers good proxies, but is packed with imprecisions]

La chingada es la Madre abierta, violada o burlada por la fuerza (Octavio Paz, the webpage would have it).

"The chingada one is the Mother opened, violated or deceived by the force "

the force.....?

oh, scratch "the." it's rape (symbolically, of the americas, given the source), not star wars. a lotta them authors down there have a knack for making the profane poetry. (got to shout, on an outdoor stage, "¡Soy el Grán Chingón!" to a captive audience during a show, good stuff.)

The word "chingar"

Four letters words aren't enough in Spanish

You are either a chingado or a chingón, that is to say you are the subject or object of this strongest of verbs.

pdog - I figured, but it was a funny image...

I can think of a couple of playwrights who might be tempted to work it in, if they ran across it.

(hope your ears aren't burning, fred...)

She said I say **** to be one of the boys.


that is SOOOOOO not true.

I think this is correct, based on what I've seen among women in groups.

You ain't seen the groups wot I am in amongst.

True!

New Haven, you've never seen groups of girls use that word? You never been to Fall River, MA.

Heehee
Nor to an a2k/afutz gathering.

The f- word, is languages most nearly perfect carrier of meaning. It can be almost any part of speech,
it can conjure up fear , anger, viz, "get away from my f'in ride man"
, it can be a admission of friendship (deep friendship among guys-ahem, "Id do any -f'in thing for him' or "Hes f'in better than a brother"
Humor as in LMFAO
it can denote a sincere misunderstanding,to whit "are you f'in kidding me?"

It fullfills all the roles of language needs. Therefore, since it is my favorite herb, I dub it(the f-word, the Freedom Tarragon of English

"no f'in sh*t"

I've heard the word from as many women as men. As for me, I picked it up while in the Navy. Once I almost slipped and said it to my mother. Her look cut me off in mid sentence. Now I only use it in the rare conversation with just a few acquaintences.
