f**king

Engaging in intercourse

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

It amplifies nearly any adjective, noun, or phrase: That's fucking amazing, I'm so fucking tired, Get in the fucking car.

The word expresses strong emotion—anger, frustration, excitement, or emphasis—without necessarily referring to sex.

As an infix, it splits words for emphasis: abso-fucking-lutely, un-fucking-believable.

Vulgar but pervasive in casual speech.
