well the other thing is

because of the STRONG taboo's television,live radio broadcasts, and movies
and the subsequent harsh penalties placed on uttering a swear word...

a whole new substitute for the f word has emerged so that the ultimate utility of the F-word can be still used without actually using it so that it has become even more pervasive in our society

case in point: on the battlestar galactica series they came out with frackin...or they 'll say something like i don't give a frag....

theres "freakin" used as a substitute for the f -word , so the adjective can still be used...on tv and radio daily

i once read that the F-word originated when...in the olden days ..if you were found rolling in the hay....having sex with the farmers daughter

you were known to be Found Under Carnal Knowledge and then you were placed in a stockade in the public square to be pelted with tomatoes or eggs and humiliated into shame...

having lived in California where it is used (the F-word) in every sentence
and in many different forms of expression...

i was surprised actually when sitting in the farm VAN relaxing while some papers were signed by my better half...on saturday...how often i heard it said while listening to a group of Bikers all tellin stories having a good ole time. These were not the hard core bikers either..they were more like the
higher class of bikers with good jobs and big families, fairly well off financially... it was every third word almost...or fourth and it sure made me think of how much i unconciously have used it in the past.

Hang around the Railroad Bridge on the ditch-cape side some evening waiting for the west tide and you will hear some nice guys fishermen talking about their lies even when you aren't involved. They are boisterous and don't care if there are women, children and visitors present. The F word is their favorite means of expression.
