ON LINE DEFINITION: To copulate...to have sexual intercourse with.
OUT OF THE PAST: Etymologists belive that the word "Fuck" is derived from the German word "Ficken" (I used to have a friend named Bob Ficken and I always called him a "Nazi Fuck") and is recognized today in almost every language.
ON THE STREET: Often skewed from it's simple original meaning. the "A Bomb" of all words in the English language is more often used as an angry and vile epithet.
IN A SENTENCE: We all thought that Vice-President Dick Cheney should have been impeached for muttering the phrase "Go Fuck yourself" in the Halls of Congress!

Answer to Buzzcook's Trivia Question of Yesterday
Cosmic Debris is?
A: A brand of spray on glitter
B: An anti drug song
C: A comic book villain
D: What was left of the Federal surplus after Bush got done with it Source
mj (Who doesn't know any cartoon voices except for Mel Blanc, Mike Judge, and a
couple of the Simpson voices.) was first, and right, writing:
Since a co-worker used to refer to his DeadHead sister as Cosmic
Debris, I'm going with B, anti-drug song.
Ed K was second, and right, and makes a point:
It's an anti-superstition, anti-religion song on Frank Zappa's 'Apostrophe'.
Maybe Mitt and Huck should have a listen.
Alan J was also right:
Don't know if this is an anti-drug song, but it is a song by Frank Zappa.
Sally P was right, also:
When I think of the term, "Cosmic Debris," I envision space junk such as burnt out satellites, meteorites, etc.
I also know that in the 1980s there was a band entitled, "Cosmic Debris and an album, "Cosmic Debris" by Ash - but I don't remember what kind of music they were about. So, I'll just guess "B." (This was hard!)
I would have guessed, "D" but that would imply (to me) that, "What was left of the Federal surplus after Bush got done with it" happened at random - which it did not!
Vic got it right, too:
Cosmic Debris is an anti-drug song by the (in my opinion) greatest rocker of all time Mr. Frank Zappa
DJ Useo sent this:
Cosmic Debris is-
C: A comic book villain.
See attachment.
And, Walt M wrote:
Deduction gets me to 50-50
d Not a very good punch line for what Bush has pulled, perhaps Cosmic vacuum
or wasteland. Debris indicates something is left
c Not a good comic book villian name, Cosmic debris is something a super
villian would leave.
b Cosmic Debris - great band name, can't imagine a song or it's lyrics, if
it is a song I want to hear it
Which leaves
a A perfect name for spray on glitter - Cosmic Debris - sparkling stars

Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien will return to late-night TV with fresh episodes on Jan. 2, two months after the writers' strike sent them into repeats, the network said Monday.
The "Tonight" show and "Late Night" will return without writers supplying jokes. NBC said the decision was similar to what happened in 1988, when Johnny Carson brought back the "Tonight" show two months into a writers' strike.
A similar return - with writers - appears in the works for David Letterman. The union representing striking writers said over the weekend that it was willing to negotiate deals with individual production companies, including Letterman's Worldwide Pants.
It's not immediately clear how each show will change in coming back without writers. The late-night programs have become less like talk shows and more like comedy shows in recent years, requiring more prepared material.

A bipartisan group of senators threatened on Monday to override the Federal Communications Commission if the agency votes to loosen media ownership restrictions at a meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
A group of 25 senators said they sent a letter to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin (R-Rupert's Bitch), warning they would "move legislation to revoke the rule and nullify the vote" if the FCC goes ahead with the media ownership rule changes.
The group, including Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, a Democrat from Hawaii, and the panel's top Republican, Ted Stevens of Alaska, said the FCC had not spent enough time studying the issue and seeking input from the public.
The warning came one day before the FCC's five commissioners were expected to vote on a plan by Martin that would lift ownership restrictions in the 20 biggest U.S. cities.
Conductor Daniel Barenboim criticized Israel on Monday for preventing a Palestinian musician from entering the Gaza Strip for a concert.
Barenboim said his group of about 20 musicians from England, the United States, France and Germany, as well the Palestinian musician, had been authorized by Israeli authorities to travel to Gaza for a baroque music festival, where they were to play on Sunday.
But the musician was stopped at the Israel-Gaza border and informed he needed individual permission to enter. The group was held for seven hours at the border, then canceled its concert in solidarity.
"A baroque music concert in a Roman Catholic church in Gaza - as we all know - has nothing to do with security and would bring so much joy to people who live there in great difficulty," said Barenboim, who for years has been critical of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians.
Carnegie Hall and the New York Philharmonic are collaborating on an upcoming festival celebrating the late composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein.
"Bernstein: The Best of All Possible Worlds," will begin on Carnegie's opening night on Sept. 24 and run through Dec. 13, marking what would have been Bernstein's 90th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his appointment as the Philharmonic's music director, Carnegie Hall said Monday.
The program of more than 30 events at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and other venues around the city includes music and musical theater, discussions, film screenings and educational and family offerings.

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the wife of Queen Elizabeth II's youngest son Prince Edward, gave birth to a baby boy on Monday, Buckingham Palace said.
The baby weighed 2.8 kilogrammes (six pounds two ounces) and was born safely by caesarean section at 4:20 p.m. (1620 GMT) at the same hospital in Surrey near London which dealt with her emergency first birth.
Sophie, 42, and Edward, 43, whose official title is the Earl of Wessex, were "thrilled, absolutely thrilled" by their new arrival, whose name is yet to be announced, a spokeswoman for the couple said.
The couple, who married in 1999, already have a daughter, four-year-old Lady Louise Windsor.
Former "Baywatch" star and Playboy model Pamela Anderson has apparently reconciled with her third husband just three days after filing for divorce to end their two-month marriage.
In a divorce petition filed on Friday in Los Angeles, Anderson, 40, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the breakdown of her marriage to Rick Salomon -- best known as Paris Hilton's partner in a 2003 sex tape.
But on Monday, Anderson wrote cryptically in her Web site diary: "We're working things out."
Celebrity web site TMZ said the divorce was off. It quoted an unidentified source close to the couple saying they had a huge fight but made up.

A U.S. judge ordered the Secret Service on Monday to disclose records of visits by nine prominent conservative Christian leaders to the White House and Vice President Dick 'Go Fuck Yourself' Cheney's residence.
The ruling, in response to a legal watchdog group's suit, could shed light on the influence leaders like James Dobson of Focus on the Family have had on resident George W. Bush's administration. It may also affect legal efforts to force the release of visiting records of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and other similar cases.
"We think that these conservative Christian leaders have had a very big impact," said Executive Director Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which filed the case.
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth rejected as "misguided" the Secret Service's arguments that disclosing the records would reveal confidential policy deliberations.
Three Cuban musicians who went missing in Brazil last week after touring in northeastern Pernambuco state asked for political asylum on Monday.
Singer Miguel Angel Costafreda and guitarists Juan Alcides Diaz and Arodis Verdecia Pompa of the group Los Galanes presented a formal request in the state capital Recife on Monday afternoon, said a Federal Police spokesman.
"With this refuge petition they can stay in Brazil until their request is judged," the spokesman told Reuters, without specifying when this could happen.
The group was touring under the auspices of an official Cuban cultural exchange program. The three disappeared from their guest house last week and the other group members returned to Cuba without them.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has pardoned the victim of a gang-rape whose sentencing to 200 lashes caused an international outcry, officials said on Monday.
The victim's husband welcomed the news. "I'm happy and my wife is happy and it will of course help lift some of her psychological and social suffering," he told Reuters. "We thank the king for his generous attention and fatherly spirit."
Ruling according to the strict Saudi reading of Islamic law, a court sentenced the woman to 90 lashes for being alone with an unrelated man and the rapists to jail terms of up to five years.
The Supreme Judicial Council last month increased the sentence to 200 lashes and six months in prison and ordered the rapists to serve between two years and nine years in prison.
Richard Desrosiers never made it to Heinz Field to watch his beloved Steelers play football, but his widow helped him fulfill his dream in death.
Thanks to some help from sympathetic donors, Kathleen Desrosiers attended Sunday's game, bringing an urn with some of her late husband's ashes, as well as his ring and two pictures of him. He had died in March of a brain tumor.
Though he lived in Exeter, N.H., Richard Desrosiers adopted the Steelers at an early age and followed them closely. He named his dog Steeler and his wardrobe, by his widow's estimate, was 95 percent Steelers gear.
Desrosiers was covered with a Steelers blanket when he died, and at his funeral, his two stepsons honored his memory by donning Steelers jerseys.
Television character actor John Berg, who appeared in shows such as "House M.D." and "Monk," was found dead in his Van Nuys home, authorities said today.
The body of the 58-year-old actor was discovered shortly before 1 p.m. yesterday in the residence in the 6500 block of Nagle Avenue, said Capt. Ed Winter of the coroner's office.
The cause of death was not immediately disclosed. An autopsy was pending. Authorities went to the actor's residence on a "welfare check" call, Winter said.
Two cloned Turkish Angola cats (R and 2nd R) whose genes were modified with a fluorescent protein are presented with a normal cloned cat (L) at a laboratory of Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, south of Seoul, December 12, 2007. The university researchers have succeeded in cloning cats after modifying a gene to change their skin color. Because of the red fluorescence protein in their skin cells, the three Turkish Angola kittens look reddish under ultraviolet light, the researchers said, The Korea Times reported.
