Fuck
''Fuck'' is an obscene English language word, which refers to the act of sexual intercourse and is also commonly used as an intensifier or to denote disdain. Its origin is obscure but is usually considered to be first attested to around 1475, although it may be considerably older. In modern usage, the term ''fuck'' and its derivatives (such as ''fucker'' and ''fucking'') can be used as a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb. There are many common phrases that employ the word, as well as compounds that incorporate it, such as ''motherfucker'' and ''fuckwit''.
==Offensiveness==
The word's use is considered obscene, but is common in many informal and familiar situations. It is unclear whether the word has always been considered vulgar, and, if not, when it first came to be used to describe (often in an extremely angry, hostile or belligerent manner) unpleasant circumstances or people in an intentionally offensive way, such as in the term ''motherfucker'', one of its more common usages in some parts of the English-speaking world. Some English-speaking countries censor it on television and radio. Andrea Millwood Hargrave's 2000 study of the attitudes of the British public found that ''fuck'' was considered the third most severe profanity and its derivative ''motherfucker'' second. ''Cunt'' was considered the most severe. Nevertheless, the word has become increasingly less vulgar and more publicly acceptable, an example of the "dysphemism treadmill", wherein former vulgarities become inoffensive and commonplace. However, lawyer and linguist professor Pamela Hobbs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://home.earthlink.net/~p37954/pamelahobbsphd/id1.html )〕 has stated that, "notwithstanding its increasing public use, enduring cultural models that inform our beliefs about the nature of sexuality and sexual acts preserve its status as a vile utterance that continues to inspire moral outrage." Hobbs considers ''users'' rather than ''usage'' of the word and sub-divides ''users'' into: 'non-users', for whom the word "evokes the core sexual meanings and associated sexual imagery that motivate the taboo", and 'users' for whom "metaphorical uses of the word ''fuck'' no more evoke images of
sexual intercourse than does a ten-year-old’s ‘My mom’ll kill me if she finds out’ evoke images of murder," where the "criteria of taboo are missing."〔 (Pdf. )〕 The word was included for the first time as one of three vulgarities in The Canadian Press's ''Canadian Press Caps and Spelling'' guide in 2005 because of its increasing usage in the public forum. Journalists were advised to refrain from censoring the word but use it sparingly and only when its inclusion was essential to the story.
