When I was in 20s, and beyond till today, we too used the word FUCK as a common lingo for various moods we felt if not the urges! But girls using it commonly was a rarity those days. And even the males would become 'controlled' in front of them. Today I realize even girls are very nonchalant of its usage both directly and indirectly. And much more commonly, and comfortably, sharing FaceBook updates from pages which has a FUCK in titles though the contained messages normally are more down-to-earth. The youth even wears a brand called 'FCUK'! as a badge for being a 'daring' or a  'rebel' person, I suppose. Many times the repeated usage of the word tries to compensate the lack of the actuals!! Whatever, the shock value or the taboo factor is not there. Though a 53+ man using it or writing about it may still be seen as a shocking act! The hypocritical middle class at it again.

The so-called 'Bhagwan' Rajneesh was known to speak extempore on a whole gamut of subjects during evening times at his commune in Pune in the heyday of his cult in the 1980s at his Pune ashram. Here’s a verbatim account of one such speech. A speech in which he so inimitably delineates one of the most commonly and widely used four letter expletives in the world, FUCK! There is uproarious laughter among his disciples as he goes on and on, putting the F-word to good use, especially from the perspective of English grammar!       (BUT remember this great iconoclastic speech along with his 'Sambhog se Sanyas tak' book was before AIDS came in. The same incorrigible Rajneesh cut down on the 'free sex' angle drastically after that!)

Here goes that speech 'quote unquote': 
   "FUCK is one of the most beautiful words. English language should be proud of it….      I don’t think any other language has any such beautiful word. One Tom from California has done great research on it. I think he must be the famous Tom. Of Tom, Dick, Harry fame…

He says one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word FUCK. It is a magical word. Just by its sound it can describe  pain, pleasure, hate and love.

In language, it falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive— John fucked Mary —and intransitive—Mary was fucked by John. And as a noun: Mary is a fine fuck!
It can be used as an adjective. Mary is fucking beautiful. As you can see, there are not many words with the versatility of the word FUCK!

Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the creative and expressive uses.

Fraud: I got fucked at the used car lot!
Ignorance: Fuck if I knew!
Trouble: I guess I’m fucked now!
Aggression: Fuck you!
Displeasure: What the fuck is going on here!
Difficulty: I can’t understand this fucking job!
Incompetence: He is a fuck off!
Suspicion: What the fuck are you doing!
Enjoyment: I had a fucking time!
Request: Get the fuck out of here!
Hostility: I’m going to knock your fucking head off!
Greeting: How the fuck are you! (mmmmuuaaaahhh!!! this my artistic liberty updation of nowadays)
Apathy: Who gives a fuck!
Innovation:  Get a bigger fucking hammer!
Surprise: Fuck, you scared the shit out of me!
Anxiety: Today is really fucked!

And it is very healthy too. If every morning you do it as a transcendental meditation… just when you get up… the first thing… repeat the mantra, Fuck you, five times… it clears the throat.

 That’s how I keep my throat clear….enough for today!"   - a transcript of Rajneesh the Osho's (in)famous speech in 80s!!
