Sorry, Zed, where did "f*" come in? What does it mean? Can't "f---" be a noun or a verb, anyway? Confused here (or maybe it's just been a long day, LOL!) :0)
I believe she's referring to the participle-as-adjective. ;-)
Oh, and don't get me wrong, two, I cuss like a sailor (not only because I'm married to one) in private company. It's just that "sucks" to my ears is almost as bad as the others, yet used all the time by kids today who have no idea, probably, of its provenance (did you have time to read the article?)
