The FCUK Word

Last weekend was having a conversation with my little niece about the cool, hip and popular words talked amongst her school mates; not surprisingly a lot hasn't changed over the years. I was in the same grade as her in 1994 or 1993 (not sure about her grade for sure but some where there she should be - what lousy fellow I am and how short lived is my memory).

The most popular word still remains the "the F word". Not sure about the reason though, why humanity and especially teenagers have such strong affection for this word. Biologically speaking, it's one of the most important and overly enjoyed act, families are in a way based on it and if that sound's like an overkill let it be. Will surely acknowledge that there are many more important factors/causes whatever - for those who are thinking this is too much - but that's not what is the question.

The question still is what's so special about this F word?
So popular in itself that a brand has such a good recall because it's called FCUK - French Connection United Kingdom. Interestingly, the way humnas raed wodrs maeks it smae for us to read FCUK and FUCK in almost the same manner. Just in case if you doubt it just read through the previous line once again - notice the mistakes that have been deliberately put in. You can surely read it easily.

Some one has an answer? Please enlighten me.
