f***ing

Engaging in coitus

Fucking is the present participle of fuck, but its main role is as an intensifier—one of the strongest in English.

It amplifies almost anything: That's fucking amazing, I'm fucking exhausted, Where are my fucking keys?

It can split words for emphasis: abso-fucking-lutely, un-fucking-believable.

The word is vulgar but ubiquitous in casual speech.
