The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers


fucking

adjective: a kind of something (see more)

I feel something very bad towards someone/something (e.g. the car). Because of this, when I say this, I want to say something very bad about this person/something (e.g. the car) at the same time.

I think about this word like this: Many people can feel something very bad when they hear this word. Many people think it is very bad if someone says this word. I don’t think the same. I want to say this word.

Note

'Fucking' is the stronger adjective when compared to 'goddamn', it expresses a stronger feeling, but also the intention to say something bad about the thing, rather than just how you are feeling.

"My fucking computer has deleted half my files again!"

"I hit a fucking kangaroo on my way to work this morning."
