Did anyone listen to the song that sparked this? Or look at the lyrics?

See above if not.

The so called ‘versatility’ of this root word is exactly what I’m trying to draw attention to as laziness. Don’t have the time to think up a better word? No problem just use an f-bomb with whatever ending you so choose to fit your purpose.

So yes it has become versatile in application. See Hear 2 Learn’s experience above (which in a similar situation for me also sparked my thread). This use of the word as maybe seeming versatile, also seems an indication of failure of our society to encourage a wider vocabulary of its members.

Hear 2 Learn: I don’t believe my post has the power to change culture. But I have also participated I this passive acceptance of this part of the dumbing down of society. I signed my name as one way to say I’m not ok with this trend.
