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!
July 23rd, 2006 - 17:25
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.
July 23rd, 2006 - 18:42
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.
