Grammar Lesson: Conjunctions

RantWoman thanks two charming gentlemen on the number 8 bus on Saturday for the following stunning realization: RantWoman has heard forms of a certaing common English epithet which begins with an F used as

nouns

verbs

adverbs

adjectives

possessive pronouns

interjections

Alas, RantWoman in the whole entire history of her encounters with this word has NEVER head the F word used as... a conjunction!

RantWoman thanks two gentlemen, Seriously Needs the Gym and The Gym Definitely Wouldn't Hurt for drawing this grievous deficit to RantWoman's attention. Seriously Needs the Gym and The Gym Wouldn't Hurt were both wearing red t-shirts and baggy shorts. RantWoman is unsure about hats, but Seriously Needs the Gym had his right arm in some kind of a bandage with a splint and the end of an Ace bandage dangling off the fingers end.

See RantWoman and Ambassador Thwack were fogging home from a big picnic. RantWoman realized that a transfer to the number 8 would take her most directly home. As RantWoman boarded, Seriously Needs the Gym started in on some kind of rant and ramble of a decidedly provocative nature, well-salted with forms of a certain word in all its multipart of speech variations. Someone in back answered back a time or two and RantWoman decided the verbiage was most likely just trash talk, trash talk for which RantWoman was going to need to wash her brain out when she got home but just trash talk.

Well, if the gentlemen had ever gotten around to F word as conjunction, RantWoman would have leapt up, high-fived them both and congratulated them on their grammatical prowess. Alas, the driver spoke up and they decided just to move to the back of the bus; RantWoman is just as happy not to hear any further grammatical expiermentation after they moved back.
