fuck!
phrase: someone says these words (see more)
I know something happened a moment before. I feel something very bad because of it.
I want to say something very bad now because of this. I want to say it in one moment. Because of this, I say this word.
I think about this word like this: Many people can feel something bad when they hear this word. Many people think it is bad if someone says this word. I don’t think the same. I want to say this word.
"When I dropped the cake I had just finished decorating, I said this word."
"Dad, can you come and get me? I just had a car accident.' 'Fuck. Are you okay?"
