It’s a crowd favorite! Hope you enjoy if this is your first time catching this one. If not, perhaps it will help pass the time, while we wait for all the snow to officially melt!!!

Spoiler Alert: I’m going to cuss. I’m going to say things that may be offensive and probably shouldn’t come out of any normal Momma’s mouth.
But in case you haven’t noticed, this Momma isn’t normal.
Shouting the word Fuck just because you can is never recommended. It needs to be crafted in to conversation so as not to taint its beautiful, descriptive power. Used in the wrong tone, this word can become scary and I for one stop listening when I feel intimidated. I recognize there is always a time and place.
Fuck is quite possibly a perfect word. It can be the main ingredient to so many things – a joke, an argument, an attitude, an emotion or a statement.
It would most definitely win a popularity contest against any other explicative within my generation. It’s not the shock value that makes it such a lovely fucking word. It’s the ability to encompass intensity regarding other words or events that otherwise are dismissed as “ordinary” or “normal”.
For example, if I hear hubby say, “it’s cold outside”, I may throw on a fleece and head out. If he says “It is fucking cold out side”, you bet your ass I’m putting on a hat and scarf because now I’m thinking it is fucking nose hair freezing and not just normal upstate NY cold.
The word fuck embodies humor, and a raw-ness that our day to day lives need. Without the f bomb would this (what I consider classic) moment be embedded in our brains?
Or how about this one…which I still quote pretty much every time I hear someone ask “What was the name?”
There is no pharmaceutical formula available that can give you the feeling of thrusting the word fuck off your tongue. It can be such a therapeutic tool with the only possible side effect being a disapproving eye.
A miserable mood can best be cured with a tall glass of what-the-fuck-ever. A situation with too many variables is best known as a cluster-fuck. When I have finally thrown my hands in the air it is usually due to a serious case of the fuck-its!
It’s a grammatical orgasm if you will. Just try it. Just shout out the word Fuck. Now say Fuck!. Try calling the person who just pulled out in front of you only to make a quick right hand turn without using HIS FUCKING BLINKER a Fucking Fuck! It just adds a little more justice to the situation. No one has ever died from whipping out a F bomb during an episode of road rage…just sayin’.
Being a Mom and being in love with the word fuck can be tricky. I’d say the trickiest part is not the kids but being around other Moms I don’t really know. I don’t drop the f word around small children (on purpose), like I said, a time and a place.
However, if I am having an adult conversation and the little ones are not under our feet, odds are I’m going to emphasize some fucking part of the conversation with a fuck here or a fuck there.
Do you know how many times in a day I call my ~on the verge of being a tyrant of a toddler~ son a little fucker? It’s never out loud of course but it is definitely a regular reaction in my head. Don’t judge me, I say it with nothing but affection and exhaustion. The little Fucker just doesn’t know how many times in a day he cheats death and how his new, un-nerving high pitch whine can drive his Momma to want to jump out the fucking window.
The power of Fuck to arouse an extra layer of emotion is why I love to use it. There is no better place for the F bomb than in a great song. So with that, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite lyrical fucks from the little folk singer herself.
W.T.F. 
The other day I went in my office, shut the door and yelled WHAT THE FUCK! There is just something very liberating about the word, and sometimes no other word will do 🙂
You got that right…sometimes no other word will do!
Growing up a baby-boomer in an Ozzie and Harriet family, I never even heard the F-word until I was in college. Seriously. It just wasn’t used in even semi-polite conversation. So on the very rare occasion that I use it, heads turn and those involved take notice. A few years back I saw Country Joe in concert and joined about 2,000 leftover hippies in screaming F-U-C-K at the top of our lungs. It was wonderful fun! But like any other word, it can be over-used. I still cringe inwardly when my daughter and son-in-law use it in front of the kids, but my granddaughters say, “That’s a grown-up word,” and know not to repeat it. But I still think we need to be careful where we use it…no point in offending people by accident. – Fawn
I feel like my generation doesn’t feel as intimidated by the word. We kind of own it. I for one hate it when it’s thrown out there inappropriately and am not of fan of hearing it with little ears around; however…..it’s a go-to feel-good word for me. I would absolutely love the opportunity to scream it at the top of my lungs, in a large group of people. wow. That must have been amazing 🙂
f@&$ing nose hair freezing!! hahaha
That’s a true story.
Now that just made it an all new level funny! haha
And depending on tone, it can have so many meanings.
Absolutely. It’s an exclamation of sorts 🙂
Everyone thinks that ‘fuck’ is my favorite swear because I say it the most often. But actually it is ‘motherfucker’. I just like to save that one for special occasions.
Love it.
I fucking love this. And if you’ve ever read my blogs, you’ll know that the F-bomb is my all time fave. I know when to censor myself in real life though—even though I fucking hate having to…
Knowing you love the F bomb as much as I do…I had to follow. 🙂
Thanks!!
