3. why not add the word FUCK to the dictionary?

Sun Apr 12, 2026, 05:01 PM

Sunday

Everywhere I read and listen, every one is saying the word FUCK now.

Is this appropriate now?

I can remember the day I'd be confined to my room if I used this type of language.

I guess it is just AOK these days.
