If you hate Van Morrison or like diagramming sentences, then you’ll love this Language Log post, parsing something he said to a fan. The fan said something like, “We love you, Van.” Morrison’s reply (parsed by our Language Log friends): “Fucking shut the fuck up.”

Since this is on topic, I came by this link to a Motion to Dismiss: The Constitutionality of F**k, "F**ker," and "F**king F*g" which gives a lengthy run down of the modern use of the vulgarity. Warning for those who don't want to read the work f**k or any derivation of it, do not go to the link.
