Drug Trivia: The Language of F@#K

Drug Trivia: the Language of F@#K

Consider the peculiar circumstance that the most common two-word verbal aggression in English, and in may other languages, refers to an act of unsurpasing physical pleasure.  Yin/Yang is poetry in motion.  F@#k, as a word form, originates probably in the Low Germanic, or middle Dutch verb, fokken, meaning to strike or hammer.  How appropriate.  I can remember, quite distinctly, and on more than one occasion, in my drug monkey days saying; "what the fuck have I just done".  All too common.


The following video explores, in depth, the etymology and every day use of this most interesting multi-functional word.  Hilarious.

Better and better.

Enjoy
