Something interesting is happening to the word fucking. For years goodly linguists have been doing research into it, and especially into phenomenon called fucking insertion.
The question with fucking insertion is: where can we put the word fucking, and where can't we? Apparently we have unconscious rules for that in our head. In English you can even stuff 'fucking' into a word: Fan-fucking-tastic! But here's the thing: we can only do it before the syllable with stress (in this case 'tas'). Consequently we'd never hear 'Fantas-fucking-tic'. Americans can effortlessly insert 'fucking' in the right spot. 'Kanga-fucking-roo', 'Minne-fucking-sota', et cetera.
Cornelisse goes on to say she feels this isn't possible in Dutch, but I disagree. 'Amster-fucking-dam' yo.
What's it like in your language?

I prefer fan-bloody-tastic, but each to their own...

Isn't the term fucking insertion kind of redundant?
fucking = sex
insertion = sex

That sounds like a really appealing country jello_biafra. Might as well change your name to increase tourism.
Edit: I meant to say tourism not tourists.
Also, Bowser and Blue made an excellent song called "Use of the F word in Canada." It's on youtube here. I recommend simply listening to the audio because the text isn't synched properly. The start says The Arrogant Worms but it's by Bowser and Blue. Both groups are hillarious though.
