Just curious

Since we today we have already talked about the versatility of the Thai word 'kee' (respect bcool!), I thought I would return the favour to all you Thai learners of English, and enlighten you in some of the many meanings of the word '****'. Now I won't bore you you with the history of the word ****, I will leave that to those with more time on their hands than I. The word **** however, if used correctly, and in appropriate company (grandmothers are always inappropriate company for example), can add colour and variety to otherwise lifeless language and prose. There are many more examples otther than those below, but I have listed the most common ones. And so let us begin... **** off = go away (no 'please') **** you = expresses strong displeasure with an individual. **** up (1) = mistake. **** up (2) = shut up. **** that = I am not doing that. What the ****? = expresses surprise or shock. ******* hell = expresses surprise or shock. **** me (1) = also expresses suprise or shock. **** me (2) = literally, **** me. **** yes = definately. **** no = definately not. **** all = very little/ not a lot f**ked in the head = completely crazy. **** it = what the heck, I'll do it. f**ked on = treated badly e.g. he has been f**ked on by his friends. f**ked over = ripped off or cheated. I don't give a **** = I don't care. I'm f**ked (1) = very drunk/stoned/wasted. I'm f**ked (2) = in a lot of trouble. In the above examples you can change the pronoun depending on who you are describing (e.g. He's f**ked, They're f**ked, We're all f**ked etc). Where there are 2 usages, context is also very important. For example, exclaiming '**** me' out of surpise when accidentally spilling a drink on yourself in a bar playing YMCA that is frequented by men in fish-net singlets may actually result in an all together different outcome than that desired. Moving on to the word '*******'. This '-ing' form of the word **** is used before many adjectives and serves as a more expressive version of the adverb 'very'. As so... '**** me, it's ******* hot today' = 'Wow, it is very hot today' Other examples include, but are by no means limited to... ******* fat ******* ugly (often abbreviated as 'fugly') ******* awful ******* fast ******* rich ******* excellent As you can see, the word **** is much more than a common 4 letter obscenity; it is a word rich with meaning and passion. As always, so that you get the most out of what you learnt here today, I recommend that you start using your new language skills as soon and as often as possible. However in this case discretion is advised, as incorrect usage could result in loss of friends, income, law suits, or large hospital bills. I hope you enjoyed today's lesson. If you didn't, well I don't give a....
