Watching TV and movies, it seems that the "F" word is essential to communication. I real life, I can't remember the last time I heard it. Comments?

I believe it's more commom in certain social strata, I think that's politically correct speech

There are many supposed origins of that word floating around.

Apparently you have not been around the Military or a construction crew in a while. :-)

Haven’t walked through a mall lately Jerry? Normal word for many of the younger crowd (not all). A word used by all their heroes today, singers, comics and sports figures. I suspect it will someday find its way into the dictionary.

Jerry, I have a sufficiently substantial vocabulary and don't need to rely on that kind of language.

However, in certain dramatic scenes in movies, I'll concede that it is a bit more realistic.

For example, In "Saving Private Ryan" opening scenes. "Oh, fiddlesticks we're sure flummoxed. The enemy has stronger defenses than we thought".

That just doesn't seem to quite have the necessary ring to it.

I worked with a girl Margaret, her and her husband came over for a Sunday BBQ. Me and her had a boss that was a complete, not 99%, 100%, A-Hole. She said one of the funniest things I remember.

"My husband thinks Vic's first name is F'n'.

I don't know about your real life, mine is quite different.

It won't be long before every letter in the alphabet will be a "you can't say this or that" I suppose it falls in line with social media where no one talks to each other anyway...soon face to face will be forbidden. Gee maybe that's why road rage and the like is up, no one knows how to talk to one another anymore.
