By now I think What The F*** might has become the most used sentence by us in the daily life.

Yes man, fuck it.

What? I said the whole word without a beep. Wow!

There was a time when we were afraid, moreover fascinated by that F word, using that word was like facing the death or inviting you to be made fun off. Remember in school, how we used to murmur that word and made fun of it. I took a long time to realise that showing middle finger refers to something bad. The boys used to laugh when we accidentally lifts up that finger. It only just increased our curiosity to know what was that, what the hell did it mean?? One of the boys came up and said, it’s a bad sign and not supposed to use it. But they didn’t even tell what was bad about it. Then I came to read a book in my 8 standard, where this F letter word was used. I started to see that word every were like, school bathroom walls, benches, books and movies. During lectures, when teachers accidentally lifts up their middle finger, then the whole class will be like smiling and making fun off. Eye contacts used to travel from first to last benches in a way too fast that it would beat the speed of the light. It was something of a taboo, when we use that word or shows middle finger. It was something we used to speak in whispers, like the way we say periods!

Now look at us, we have grown from beeping what the **** to greeting our friends with a middle finger. Even the kids now a days know more than us. I was fucking stunned, when my six-year-old cousin used what the fuck, while playing with his friends.

Day without uttering fuck off and chats without wtf is incomplete now…Whether its good or bad a fuck is important. Bought a new dress: Wow, its fucking beautiful! Doesn’t like that dress: what the fuck is this. Can’t find that dress: where the fuck it had gone. It has become the adjective to all the nouns I believe. Even the movie subtitles have removed the asterisk after F. Its now a part of daily life.

But why the fuck, periods are still being whispered even now!!!!
