Learn More With Another RealLife Article (by Trevor): How to Use the Word FUCK Shit: shoot, shiznit (crap, crud) So, the way we use this, if you get upset, and you have to yell “fuck!” you might say fudge, you might say frick, and, if you use this as an adverb, for example “I’m fucking tired,” you might say, like, “I’m frickin’ tired,” “I’m freakin’ tired,” “I’m effin’ tired,” “I’m flippin’ tired.”Īnd then, the final way that we use this is when we say, you might say, WTF, which you see on the internet all the time, that’s “what the fuck,” you might say “what the bleep.” So, then, we have the word fuck, which is also called the F word. Fuck and WTF: the F word, fudge, frick, flippin’ This symbol represents, when we say the words *bleep*, there’s a bleep. Ok, so, the first way that we actually use it, to write, is this symbol here. Today, I’m going to teach you about alternative ways to swear in English, so stay tuned. I’m Justin, welcome to another episode of RealLIfe TV.

The barnyard and the fishing boat have left their marks (hogwash, codswallop).Bullshit has obviously been a problem for a while, given how many words people have coined over the years to describe it.

Thanks to Stephen Chrisomalis on a site called The Phrontistery, I now have a useful list of synonyms for bullshit.
