How to Say “FUCK” Shamelessly

“FFFFFFFFF UUUUUUUU Aghhhhhh I can’t type it!!!”

Slap! “Write it, goddamn it.”

“FFFFFFFFFFF UUUUUUUUU CCCCCCCCC Aghhhhhhhhhh, Daddy, Nour, please spare me. I can’t, just can’t.”

Slap! “Write it, you little wimp!”

“FFFFFFFFFFF UUUUUUUUU CCCCCCCCCCCCCC Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can’ttttttt.”

“A wimp is a wimp. Here we go, I will write it on your butt. Fcuk! Was it that hard? It’s a fashion brand, you little child. What are you worried about?”

Now, back to you, my sophisticated reader. I know what you are saying! Do I “really” have to say the word “fuck” to be a courageous writer. Here is your answer: it depends on the size of your balls. Baaaam! You didn’t see that coming, did you?

This article is not about saying the colorful word “fuck,” or “suck,” or “plug,” or even “hug.” It’s about writing courageously without the fear of holding back whatever you want to say and saying it the way you like saying it.

Now, I gotta apologize for my opening; I was too direct and too rude, but hey, I had to start the conversation like that because I wanted to grab your attention. I didn’t mean it. Blah, blah, and another blah! You see, now I’m justifying and explaining myself like a pussified wimp, too. This cowardly thing is contagious.

Most, if not all, of us grew up in families and environments where we had specific rules, cultures, and red lines. There are things that it’s okay to say and other things that we have to hold our tongue back. That’s not a bad thing when you are a bit little childish, and your mind can’t separate a truth from a smelly brain fart. However, when we grow up, we start to develop our views on life and personality. If we keep going with the same mindset as our “religion,” “family,” and sometimes the “government” taught us, we become nothing but a bunch of robots or wimps that can’t express our perspective in a way that reflects our character. We would always be afraid that our neighbors, a ghost or a hired snipper, would hunt our butt and end us.

I actually knew a guy who was afraid to say the word fuck in his articles because his writing friends would judge him. I told him if you want to say fuck, just say it. Today I enjoy reading his “fucky” stuff a lot more than his traditional work.

Raise your hand if you feel that there is something you always wanted to write about or a certain language or phrases wanted to use but were afraid to be judged by someone or to piss off your readers. I know that feeling every time I write a new piece, but I don’t allow it to take over my writing or say whatever I want to say. It’s not because my brain acts like a “kuku” most of the time but because when I talk about my opinion boldly, I’m not ‘insulting’ any specific person. You really can’t point your finger at me and say that I’m being harsh on you specifically, can you?

You can imagine that I’m talking about you, but the truth is I’m talking about a behavior, and many of us, including myself are products of shitty behaviors. It’s not a big deal.

Now let’s talk about something a lot more important than the word “fuck.” Because, to be honest, the word “fuck” doesn’t have the same “quality” of a real fuck any longer. And if you are still afraid of saying it, be assured that you are outdated or, lately, not fucking too often!

Anyway, back to the main topic. How do you write courageously even if you feel afraid of expressing your thoughts? And the answer is very simple. First, ask yourself these two questions: What are you exactly afraid of? And why do you think people give a hoot about what you have to say? Are you a big shot? A celebrity? I doubt it! So what all the fuss is about? Unless you live in a heavily corrupted and dictatorial system, you have nothing to worry about!

I have written around 520 articles, more or less. I have used all sorts of writing styles, and to be honest with you, probably very few people still remember what I said in my article# 519.

Let me tell you the truth: until this moment, I got no boost but a boot in my butt. It doesn’t matter if I say things politely, beautifully, or elegantly. I have no luck with Medium. Maybe I should send some of their editors a box of chocolate. The truth is, I couldn't care less if they boosted it, and now, instead of waiting for the boost, I’ve decided to give it a boot and write the way I want it.

Let me tell you another fun fact: I wrote an article about AI confessing to taking over humanity with video proof. I expected the CIA to knock on my door the next hour; however, I waited longer to realize that no one gave a hoot about the end of humanity and everyone was busy looking at feet pictures.

How else can I say it? No one gives a fuck about what you have to say if you are not big enough to be noticed. The power of the feet is a lot more powerful than your sexy tweet!

Listen! I’m a dirty guy. Okay! So what? Most people like dirty stuff but hide it behind a fake, shy smile. The porn industry is one of the largest industry on the internet, and that’s for a reason! People are dirty! I don’t believe that a superpower holds my future, so what? Most people now are drifting away from the so-called ‘God.’ I don’t think this platform at the moment is the best platform to grow as a writer, so what? They want to kick me out; let it be. I will create another account! Brrrrr.

You see, I can guarantee you that as long as you don’t step on someone’s feet and make it personal, no one gives a hoot about what you say. I never attacked a specific religious person or a religion. I only made some jokes with “God” because I know “God” enjoys my sense of humor. I never attacked the CEO of OpenAI or any Medium staff. I’m not against people or have disrespect against them. I’m just against what most people do!

There is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion about a specific matter. It’s a free platform established in a free country! Well, that's what they call it! Now, here is the good news. Even if you curse me, it’s not like I’m going to jump on a plane and hunt your butt. Rest assured, my Syrian passport can only get me visa-free to nine islands, which I still have no idea where they exist.

Saying your opinion boldly doesn’t automatically make the other person or situation wrong. It’s just your perspective. However, if you don’t present your perspective boldly and courageously, then you turn your tone into a fussy, monochromatic speech that lacks emotional force, and trust me, your readers will have no idea what it’s that you want.

Be assured, If you say “fuck”, it doesn’t mean that you are a dirty person; it just means that you are a frustrated person! That’s all! And when people are frustrated, they normally fuck! So you are not wrong! And even if people think you are dirty, brush your tongue with a bar of soap, and “voila,” you are back to “boring civil.”

Here are my last two words: Take it easy and chill out when you write. Say whatever you want to say the way you crave to say it. Allow your voice to shine! If you don’t want to curse or be dirty, then don’t, but at least explain your ideas with a bold voice so we understand what the heck you are talking about. Cheers!
