I'm touring New York City, and so far have had a date each day.  The question is which is gramatically correct?

Am I having a...

GREAT FUCKING TIME!!!

or a

FUCKING GREAT TIME!!!

???

I've a number of bar bets riding on this...

Whichever one you choose, someone is going to correct you, so to be safe just so with:

FUCKING GREAT FUCKING TIME!!!

That is absolutely correct with the f word modifying both the adjective "great" and the noun "time." Both need this particular modifier in this case. After all the time was not near great and it was not spent horse back riding (at least not on a horse.)

If you are asking a question, then place a question mark at the end. Some use slang and use both if they are screaming with an orgasm, while asking a question. :)

The punctuational error got right past me. Had I picked up on it, I surely would have corrected him.

Is this correct???!!!

...you really are having a tough time with English!

The proper usage is either (pronounced eye-ther):

Great intercoursing time!!!  or

Intercoursing great time!!!

Spelling isn't your long suit, either.  By the way, if it is "grammatical, it must be correct--hence, the term "grammatically correct" belongs in the Department of Redundancy Department.

It wasn't exactly mistaken grammar, but the omission of a single word that got one of my favorite cousins into great trouble.  Literally. He pled guilty rather than NOT guilty and ended up with 4 years in prison for falsifying drug testing data submitted to the FDA.One little word.

is "your" vs "you're"

and "write" vs "right" to a lesser extent.

BTW, I only failed English once... well... maybe twice...

Truth be told... I dropped out of Freshman english class, as I had a really bad personality conflict with the teacher, and then took it again my Senior year to fulfill graduation requirements.

There is no such word as proportional, the word is proportionate.

That's what I love about listening to someone who is smarter than I am.

I do think that the number of complaints is proportionately proportional to the number of mistakes.


Thank You

in a heavy Irish accent, they came back at me with...

"If your Fucking dick isn't so Fucking sore, that it feels like it's going to Fucking fall off... what the Fuck are you doing in here, instead of out Fucking another *****?"

I'm not so sure I like NYC Irish Fucking Bars so much anymore.

It depends on what you're trying to say--if your "fucking time" is great, which specifies your, well, fucking time, then the first one. If it's your time in general, then the second. ("Fucking" amplifies great here, which modifies time.) It sounds like both meanings could apply here, so your arrangement needs to be precise.

but a 4 year old whisky will surely make you Fuckin puke all night long, which is why we don't bottle 'em and send 'em over to ya Yanks that young.

If you gonna drink that Fuckin crap, suggest you water it down a lot, maybe 700 or 900 billion parts of water to one part Irish Fuckin whiskey to make it palatabale for you Yanks.

Mother Mary & Jesus be with you, cause we all think you need all the Fuckin help you can get with this mess you've got now.

God Bless
