CalSkins81 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD IS Well, it's **** ... that's right, **** ! **** may just be the most functional word in the English language. Consider: You can get ****-faced, Be ****-out-of-luck, Or have **** for brains. With a little effort, you can get your **** together, find a place for your ****, or be asked to **** or get off the pot. You can smoke ****, buy ****, sell ****, lose ****, find ****, forget ****, and tell others to eat ****. Some people know their ****, while others can't tell the difference between **** and shineola. There are lucky ****s, dumb ****s, and crazy ****s. There is bull ****, horse ****, and chicken ****. You can throw ****, sling ****, catch ****, shoot the ****, or duck when the s**t hits the fan. You can give a **** or serve **** on a shingle. You can find yourself in deep **** or be happier than a pig in ****. Some days are colder than ****, some days are hotter than ****, and some days are just plain ****y. Some music sounds like ****, things can look like ****, and there are times when you feel like ****. You can have too much ****, not enough ****, the right ****, the wrong **** or a lot of weird ****. You can carry ****, have a mountain of ****, or find yourself up **** creek without a paddle. Sometimes everything you touch turns to **** and other times you fall in a bucket of **** and come out smelling like a rose. When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language. And remember, once you know your ****, you don't need to know anything else!! Well, ****, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a **** and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of ****. But, if you happened to catch a load of **** from some ****-head.......... Well, **** Happens!!! :pooh: Edited for reasons enumerated below ~ihs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Insert quote from mods about circumventing the filter here OK 6. Do not attempt to circumvent the profanity filters. Let the filters do their job. Veiled profanity is unacceptable. We allow the use of either all asterisks/symbols or not at all. For example "****" and "*&*%$" are acceptable, while "*****, “s**t” or “sh*t" are not. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I think seeing this the second time makes it less funny for me. Essentially, the word either means crap or stuff, and that's going to encompass a lot of everyday speech. Add onto that the fact that the word is being used in much the same way in most of the listed expressions and it starts to appear less versatile.

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I beg to differ, **** can also be very good. For instance, this thread is the ****! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyZeb Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've heard the same thing with the F word, which is probably more versitle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cskin Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I've heard that the word in question comes from the term "Ship High In Transit" from the colonial days when fertilizer (Manure) was shipped in ships. When it would sit in the bottom of the hulls it would most often get wet... and when it dried... it would produce a gas... and any spark would ignite it and blow up the ships. So.. in order to ameliorate the situation... they begin to ship the stuff higher in the hulls of ships to keep it dry and label it S-H-*-T to alert the cargo loaders. Anyone know whether this is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanCollins Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 They missed a few: You've got to be ****ing me! (that's ones pretty messed up if you think about it) You can be full of **** and then have the **** beat out of you. You can go from just having a ****y day, to being in a world of ****. Depending on who ask, they would say, this is The ****, or this isn't the right ****, or this is the the bad ****, and worse **** than that can happen because **** happens. and you can have to take a ****, have to take ****, take ****, and have your **** taken from you by someone who doesn't give a **** but don't try to ski with ****skis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know whether this is true? Both Merriam Webster and dictionary.com say it probably comes from the Old English sciten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
