Subject: RE: BS: Improper Language II
Fuck; fok; fek; an amazing declension, or is it a conjugation? I have seen it described (or defined) as "an old Anglo-Saxon grunt word", but am partial to its usual Spanish definition: "explicativo sin tiendo" (explicative without meaning). Have also heard and read the verb "fek" in the Dublin vernacular as a synonym for "steal, pinch, lift, swipe, snatch, etc." (as in taking a thing unbeknownst to the rightful owner). Aint language grand?
