I've written before about the word fuck and its use, especially as a profanity.
As I was going through some old magazines, I saw this recommendation about it as a profanity. It was in the May 2009 issue of Esquire:
In too many cases, it's just a signifier of unhappiness -- "fucking pain in the ass," "fucking bullshit," "Al fucking Gore" -- with no potency. For optimal impact, use fuck sparingly and with unusual imagery ("Did he just finger-fuck me?") or reverse the conventional forms ("What a freaking fuck show"); alternatively, multiply it ("fucking four-eyed fuck.")
(Emphasis mine.)
