F**k, diddly-f**k-f**k. F**king is in.

Okay. Change of commenting rules.

If the word “vagina” induces anything more visceral from you than a giggle, then look away now.

Thinkers Podium is officially a bit more adult. No. Not Pr0n.

In future, I’m going to be really lax about the use of the word “fuck.” See – I didn’t put it “over the fold.” Why, when I have before?

I’ve been toying with the idea for a while now. Given that at one point, I wanted to write a blog post about Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and how I thought that D.H. Lawrence was actually quite successful in his use of the word “fuck” as a beautiful, oh so very human term, it would seem odd if I censored the word overly. The title of this post is an attempt at irony.

That being the case though, I’m still not going to be amenable to people using the term as a means of abuse in the comments threads. Repeat after me: ‘”Fuck” is a beautiful word, worthy of respect. Like vaginas.’ Thank you.

For reference…

• “Get fucked!” (friendly incredulity) – okay.
• “Get fucked!” (fuck off!) – not okay.
• “Fuck off!” (shut-up/go-away) – not okay.
• “Sweet fuck!” (also “fuck yeah!”) – okay.
• “Had a sweet fuck the other night” (fucking) – okay.
• “That fucking halibut was fucking good enough for fucking Jehovah” (nice fish if you don’t get the Python reference) – okay.

And for the sake of clarity, I’m assuming a fucking literal Jehovah of the Old Testament (a book which “fucking” is too good a word for) that ate/shat/fucked – hence an Adam in his image that ate/shat/fucked.

Any questions? Get fucked! (Friendly incredulity.)
