    Eliminating swearing at a stroke

    Recent years have seen the emergence of substitute swear words such as 'FRICK', 'FECK', 'FREAKIN' and any number of asterisked variations.

    I propose we adopt a new variant, one that will mark us out as belonging to a unique group, that happy band of renegades and misfits they call (usually in hushed tones of awe) "The CUK-ers".

    To quote George Carlin . . .
    Perhaps one of the most interesting words
    in the English language today, is the word CUK.
    Out of all of the English words which begin with the letter C, CUK is the only word referred to as the "C" word, it's the one magical word.
    CUK as most words in the english language,
    is derived from German,
    the word "CUKen[?]", which means to strike.
    In English, CUK falls into many grammatical categories.

    As a transitive verb, for instance.
    John CUK-ed Shirley.
    As an intransitive verb, Shirley CUKS.
    It's meaning's not always sexual;
    it can be used as an adjective, such as
    John's doing all the CUK-ing work.
    As part of an adverb,
    Shirley talks too CUK-ing much.
    As an adverb enhancing an adjective,
    Shirley is CUK-ing beautiful.
    As a noun, I don't give a CUK.
    As part of a word abso-CUK-ING-lutely,
    or in-CUK-ING-credible.
    And, as almost every word in the sentence,
    CUK the CUK-ing CUK-ers.

    As you must realize,
    there aren't too many words
    with the versatility of CUK.
    As in these examples describing situations
    such as fraud,
    I got CUK-ed at the used car lot.
    Dismay, Aw CUK it.
    Trouble, I guess I'm really CUK-ed now.
    Agression, Don't CUK with me buddy.
    Difficulty, I don't understand this CUK-ing question.
    Inquiry, Who the CUK was that?
    Dissatisfaction, I don't like what the CUK is going on here.
    Incompetence, He's a CUK-off.
    Dismissal, Why don't you go outside and play hide-and-go-CUK yourself?

    I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
    With all these multi purpose applications,
    how can anyone be offended when you use the word?
    We say, use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech.
    It will identify the quality of your character immediately.
    Say it loudly, and proudly!
    CUK you!

    Bit harsh. Wishing a heart attack on people who swear.

      Does that mean we're all a bunch of CUKkers?

              Can we have a verb "to CUK" as well

                  'To CUK'
