Language warning. Hey, it was the Seventies.

FUCK

The perfect word.

It’s a noun. And a verb. Add “ing” and it becomes an adverb. or an adjective. It’s feminine. Masculine. And neuter.

It’s a positive word. A negative word. A personal word. An impersonal word. It’s a declarative. An expletive. A directive. A request. A question. And an answer.

No matter how you personally feel about it, it’s the only word, by itself, capable of getting you through the day. Day after day.

No doubt about it, it’s the perfect word.

Fucking perfect.

[Note: The double space after “capable” is killing me. Who proofed this 45 years ago!?]
