There was a point to this. But I forgot.
Let’s take a statement like ‘The sex’s fucking good’
Is the word fucking in this context a verb or and adjective?

Sex cannot fuck, so fucking is an adjective! I know it is intended as a joke, just trying to make it funnier!
But, isn’t sex itself fuck?
Yeah, but if sex is not a verb, but a noun, then it cannot fuck… get it?
I thought sex was a noun – like – ‘He has sex’, you know – an object and all.
Though yeah, I get it. Sex can also be a verb.
But mostly, sex is like Schrodinger’s cat.
Woah Woah! Waiteees! For some people sex is like Schrodinger’s cat. Never generalise!
True, that.
Ummm… Adjective I think.
Unless it is someone called ‘sex’ fucking someone called ‘good’.
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
What a way to describe the feeling of “good”! Clearly an innovative application of adjective.
