The word I'm talking about is the F-word and this abuse of this famous word is making me sick

Maybe it is just me that's a little bit sensitive

Care to explain "abuse"? Like some people overusing it? Agreed, though I sometimes like to use it myself veeeery much... It can be a powerful addition

Like, "I'm famous bored!" or so...

Overusing it so much that it becomes an abuse.

Today I have seen the word several times and last time I saw was about 30 minutes ago.

It is part of the military culture.

Most of us use that kind of language from time to time, some more than others. When I was in the navy the unspoken rule was "never around women and children", and we adhered to that pretty well. These days it's just the opposite. On the street I constantly hear high school girls use what we used to call "language that would make a sailor blush", and sometimes it does.

I think the worst is people who use it so much that literally every other word out of their mouths is something I wouldn't want small children to hear.
