Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
was once regarded as obscene and had no place in written or spoken speech. However, within the past few decades, the word fuck appears in places other than wall
or sidewalk graffiti. It is frequently featured in films, song lyrics, and become the go-to word for an entire generation of young speakers. Most of the people who
regularly utter this word have little more than a vague idea as to what it means; instead, they use it to offend, to shock, and to express anger. Among
profanities, fuck is the most used and overused four-letter word in the English language, an inadequate substitution for many other nouns and verbs. It becomes obvious that fuck has
overextended its intended meaning and should be expunged from the English language. The original Oxford Dictionary entry for fuck is dated 1503, as the Middle English term
fuken (Wajnryb, 2005). However, this four-letter word is believed to be etymologically rooted in the Latin word futuere, the French word foutre, and the German word ficken (Wajnryb, 2005).
Initially, the term had dual meanings with the first representing an act of physical violence (to beat or to hit) and the second (and more familiar) one, "to engage
in sexual activity" (Wajnryb, 2005, p. 55). It is also associated with Germanic and Scandinavian terms (fokken, fukka, and focka), which are all translated to mean some type of
striking or thrusting motions (Wajnryb, 2005, p. 56). However, there are some etymologists insisting that the contemporary usage of fuck is derived from early acronyms such as, "Fornicate under
Command of the King" used during the Great Plague, and "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," that naval commanders would enter into their logbooks during the nineteenth century (Wajnryb, 2005, p. 57).
