prokopetz:

You ever notice that, in its figurative usage, fucking has a discernible bias against downward motion?

Like, you can be fucked up, and you can be fucked sideways, and while certainly you can be down to fuck (though here we’ve left the realm of the figurative), you can’t be fucked down.

You can get fucked over and fucked around, but you can’t get fucked under.

It’s striking to me because literal fucking often involves quite a lot of downward motion (at least if you’re doing it properly!), but in the figurative sphere it’s all up from here.
