OSHO AND THE F-WORD



It's a lot funnier if you watch Osho himself do this monologue, but....here are selected excerpt from an OSHO TALK “The Great Pilgrimage: From Here to Here #23”

Here, Osho speaks about the versatile use of the English word “F*ck”. It is one of the most interesting words in English language today.

Osho says that there are not many words with the versatility of f*ck. Besides the s*xual meaning, there are also the following uses:

Ignorance: F*cked if I know.

Trouble: I guess I am f*cked now!

Fraud: I got f*cked at the used car lot.

Aggression: F*ck you!

Displeasure: What the f*ck is going on here?

Difficulty: I can’t understand this f*cking job.

Incompetence: He is a f*ck-off.

Suspicion: What the f*ck are you doing?

Enjoyment: I had a f*cking good time.

Request: Get the f*ck out of here.

Hostility: I’m going to knock your f*cking head off.

Greeting: How the f*ck are you?

Apathy: Who gives a f*ck?

Innovation: Get a bigger f*cking hammer.

Surprise: F*ck! You scared the shit out of me!

Anxiety: Today is really f*cked.

I loved this blog... I'm going to be chuckling for days.
I never used the word f*ck until I was in my 40's and 'finding' myself. I remember the incident like it was yesterday. My then husband of 20 years was trying to reign me in and tie me down and I turned around and said very matter of factly ... "F*ck that noise"! LOLOL He then said he was going to wash my mouth out with soap...lol

... and it was all downhill from there! LOL

I find that it's more effective if you save it for a special occasion......

ROFL..... although it is not my favorite word.... is there such a thing?..... I confess that I do use it occasionally, usually when I am upset about something.
Actually, I do not like to hear it said in reference to sax, perhaps because that is the way my abusive stepdad used it.
Of course, some might say that a lady does not use that word, or it isn't used in polite society, but I've never been accused of being a lady and I don't run with the polite society crowd. LOL.

If you didn’t use the word f&ck in the military, you would be practically speechless.

Not my favourite word either, but when I heard Osho, with his careful annunciation in his Indian accent admire the versatility of this English word and use it in all these examples, it really hit my funny-bone.........I think it is funny because it's a taboo word.

A couple of years after we came to Canada, I went home after school with a girl in my class. Her family was very different than anyone I had ever been around before. I saw that it was a bad family....They were not nice to each other, to put it mildly. I felt a kind of horrified fascination. I heard words I had never heard before.....and then I tried it out at home.....nothing too terrible...I told my sister to "shuddup".....got right in her face and yelled it at her. I was never allowed to go to that home again...

Actually, the only time I consider that word as vulgar is when it is used in reference to sax.
Any other time, it is just a cuss word.
I too, was not allowed to use those words, and have had my mouth washed out with soap or smacked for it. But I'm not a kid now, and I will say what I want, when I want, except around kids. I noticed my grandpa used that word more as he got older too..... but not around children.

Oh sure, because you have so often demonstrated that you are the likely arbiter of "Real" humour......

I'll give you a hint, just because you are such a sweet guy......The humour is not in being able to say the word, it's in the context.....It's in the irony....

Okay.... i find for me it only has one all occasion use.. only one use... that for me is one and only for that time and circumstance..

I'll give an example.....It's specific, but in general that circumstance ALWAYS results in it's use.

When I stub my toe... (or something similar)... and it hurts... It comes out of my mouth.... ALWAYS.
The degree of the pain.. determines how many times... I repeat it..

Me too...usually when I'm alone and either hurt myself or have an accident.....like dropping something that creates a mess.
