And the best record of 2009? Lily Allen's Fuck You. Arguably the best record of the decade? James Blunt's You're Fucking Beautiful. Let's make 2010 the year for rehabilitating Fuck. And imagine how much better Joe's record would have been if he'd mentioned what a hard Fucking Climb it was to beat Rage Against The Fucking Machine to the Christmas Fucking Number One?

What's meant by in context? It's an old Saxon word for sexual intercourse, so unless it's being used in that context I guess it's out of context. I never use it myself, but that's mostly out of respect for others. Some don't mind but there are always those who do, plus there are a host of other words which can be used instead. We have a rich language. I think the F word is a lazy substitute for better English.
I remember when I was in the Risley TV room and we were watching a movie about a girl country singer. She used the F word once towards the end and it made these real tough guys (who used it repeatedly) to recoil in horror. Afterwards it was the talk of the wing. Most said that it spoiled what had been a really gentle piece of escapism and it didn't suit the character. It was as though the director had suddenly realised they hadn't included any bad language even though they were entitled to and so shoved the F word in for the sake of it. |

In Nan#s Christmas Carol last night - a young "nan" at about 9 years old let fly with a string of expletives including the F word. It was in context and very very funny.........
Good and orginal re-telling of the Dickens story. |

Whilst i agree in principal I would find it slightly distasteful on Christmas day before the watershed. Then again, i'm a hyprocritical christian. |
