Oh, fuck? Yeah, don't say that.

[Time to decide how to explain it. What parts to explain, what not to.]

I mostly use it to punctuate the thought, for emphasis. But it's actual meaning is crass.

[obiwanofthosedays]

Yes, that one. Does it conjugate?

[ Language has ever been a fascination of his- and if he has a secret cache of explicit language for difficult situations? That's for him and him alone. ]

[everybodysterrible]

Um. Fuck. Past tense fucked, continuous fucking. Fucks is either plural, or third person present.

So- 'I have no fucks to give' or 'what the fuck was that' or 'this entire conversation has gone of the fucking rails.'

[That last one is her actual description of what is going the fuck on right now.]

[obiwanofthosedays]

A most versatile word indeed. So it can be both noun, adjective, and verb? Curious.

[ He'll just tuck that away in his mental library of words to use when deeply stressed. It certainly has a more emphatic punch to it than 'kriff'. ]

I suppose it'd be inappropriate to inquire as to the meaning of the word?

[everybodysterrible]

[Even the calming nature of Obi Wan's domain doesn't quite keep that question from being a problem.]

Proper usage is as a verb. It's- well, sexual intercourse. Not lovemaking, like- purely for the fun of it sex.

But casual use is more about a measure of concern one has, or about how impactful something is.

[Which raises a bunch of questions Abby's never considered as to how that became all its colloqial uses. Other than, of course, it being a fun word to say. Lot's of good sounds to it.]

[ Obi-Wan's brows shoot up as he makes note, mouths the word silently to himself, and nods. ]

That is most emphatic for describing a fling, I must say, but it certainly makes an impact. Certainly more than the usual lexicon from my reality.

[everybodysterrible]

It's got a lot of good sounds I guess? And it's short.

'Sexual intercourse' just doesn't fit into any sort of tempo.

[This, this is a good place to change the subject, and ask about literally anything else. But...]

What... is the equivalent in your world's lexicon?
