Interjection - Modifier - Noun - Verb
One of English's most versatile taboo words, functioning across sexual, emotional, grammatical, and emphatic contexts.
Literally associated with sexual intercourse, but now used for anger, emphasis, dismissal, surprise, admiration, frustration, and countless other functions.
Its exact ancestry remains debated, although related Germanic forms and medieval English attestations exist.
Its original sexual meaning and long history as a social taboo give it enduring force.
Functions as a verb, noun, interjection, intensifier, and building block for compounds.

Once heavily censored in public media; now common in informal speech while still considered strong profanity.
