The Incomprehensible “F Word”

I don’t understand it.  The “F word” refers to a pleasurable sexual experience (PSE).  Yet, it’s most common use is in negative contexts.  For example, if someone offends or bothers us, we (not everyone, of course) might angrily say “[PSE] you!” or “Go [PSE] yourself!”  A person in trouble is said to be “all [PSE]ed up.”  In fact, if we want to sympathize with a friend’s bad news, we might say, “Wow…that’s [PSE]ed!” or simply “[PSE], Man!”  To let off steam over something we wish we hadn’t done we’d say, “Oh, [PSE] it!”

Doesn’t sound like there’s any pleasure involved in any of those situations.

 When it comes to this word, I just don’t [PSE]en understand it!
