We know the"F" word is a pretty explicative word but why is it used so much in the American Society? ?

Question

It is a bad slang word or is it a warning shot to whoever receives?

Answer 1

It's not used exteremely a lot in American society, but too much.  I guess it's because many Americans don't seem to care about what they say or find that it's okay to say such dirty words.

Answer 2

what else can you expect from a country with only about 300 years of invention, and 100 years of civilisation?

Answer 3

That's a great question. I hardly heard anyone using bad language growing up.

At some point ( I think in the 1990's) it somehow became socially accepted and now it's freely used on tv, movies, music..etc.  

My parents would have washed my mouth out with soap if I talked like the kids do today.. I think they believe it projects the "tough guy" or "cool" aspect when they throw this word around.

For me, I think our society is forgetting the concept of self-respect.

Answer 4

I dunno really why it's used to much. I do know that some Europeans say it a LOT more than Americans do. It's just not as offensive. I have a friend who's Belgian and he said that they say the c word all the time and it's WAY less offensive than here.

Answer 5

Ignorants and a lack of vocabulary.

The true meaning actually come from the Brits.

When they locked up prisoners they segregated them for the different crimes they had committed and the word.

F.U.C.K.

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was invented

Answer 6

I heard that it is used more in England and not so offensive over there.

I don't hear many Americans saying the F word.  

Answer 7

Yes it is pretty explicative, but it is an acronym of Fornication Under Consent of the King.
