Fuck is a well-known word for sexual intercourse, and cock and cunt are slang, if not profane, terms for the male and female organs involved in this activity ... this to say about these first three words: It is a curious feature in the taxonomy that of the various forms of excretion and erucation, shit should be the most used term (cf.
