A question

Let’s take a statement like ‘The sex’s fucking good’

Is the word fucking in this context a verb or and adjective?

  1. Sex cannot fuck, so fucking is an adjective! I know it is intended as a joke, just trying to make it funnier!

  2. Yeah, but if sex is not a verb, but a noun, then it cannot fuck… get it?

  3. I thought sex was a noun – like – ‘He has sex’, you know – an object and all.

  4. Though yeah, I get it. Sex can also be a verb.

  5. But mostly, sex is like Schrodinger’s cat.

  6. Woah Woah! Waiteees! For some people sex is like Schrodinger’s cat. Never generalise!

  7. Ummm… Adjective I think.

    Unless it is someone called ‘sex’ fucking someone called ‘good’.

  8. the answer is adverb.

    sex is the noun.
    good is the adjective that describes the noun.
    f u c k i n g is the word that describes the adjective that describes the noun.

    so its an adverb

  9. What a way to describe the feeling of “good”! Clearly an innovative application of adjective.
