    Well, at least part of it is that the F word is so versatile; consider that it can be used as the object, subject and verb in a single sentence, as well as (for instance) a preceding exclamation:

    "****! The ****ing ****er's ****ing ****ed!"

    My personal favourite, though, is probably "adroit".

    I have an MP3 on "The many uses of the word f***" which the title claims is Monty Python....anyone know?

    Anyway one of the best bits ever on that old C4 probram 'Faking It' was when they taught that Oxford student who was learning to be a doorman just how important the f-word is to Londoners. Made me proud of my city that did.

    There's a .SWF of that, and it gives credit to mony Python for the soundtrack, so I'm sure it's true.

    EDIT> Found it!
    Well worth adding to any vocabulary.

    I find myself using Ghey a lot

    It's being ghey
    What a load of ghey
    Gheyness

    I find it a very flexible word, often hurtled at my monitor when dabbling with the unknown.

    I think its because, at the end of the day, swearing is big and it is clever.

    "shu-up" = shut up is my most common non-sweary word

    "fanny" seems to be another one (it's a name, not just another word for a lady's anatomy!"

    "custard" is a common one in our group cos we're not allowed to say C*nt out loud lol (dont ask)

    "forking" is another one lol (cheers for reminding me monkeyville!)
