It’s a powerful word, Tess, one that reflects our current mess accurately! But then my career was in advertising, so I toss it around quite freely. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

My 5yr old grandson had a sucker yesterday and told us it sounds like the f-word. Opps. We try not to say it in his presence. He screams "the bad man" whenever he sees King Shitpants on TV. Which isn't very often.

My granddaughter loved trucks. One of her first words. Of course she called them fucks at least 50 times a day.

My career is nursing so I have a crater size hole in my tongue from biting it because I can't say the F word out loud.

As a former nurse, i feel your pain. I'll tell you, though, I used to hate the word. Now I use it quite liberally and like AKRebel said above "It may well be the most flexible word in the English language :) Noun, verb, adjective, adverb...so versatile!"

I think back and I never used the word before nursing school. Now when I'm around "normal" people (not in healthcare), I have to watch my mouth.

Fortunately I had good bosses and management and staff for most of my fucking career; The situation I described was an outlier, but in retirement you finally get the chance to vent a little 😊

I did not literally have a fucking career, not to disparage those who choose that path
