motherfucker
word
Definition
A very offensive slang insult used to express anger, hatred, or strong emphasis toward a person. It can also be used more loosely in some informal contexts for a tough, impressive, or difficult person or thing, but it remains highly vulgar.
Usage & Nuances
Extremely vulgar; avoid in polite conversation, work, school, or with strangers. Often used in anger, but also as an intensifier ('that motherfucker is heavy') or for a dangerous/tough person. Tone changes the meaning a lot. Not suitable for most learners to use actively.
