I’m pretty sure that you can count them. I, for example, have given exactly seven and one half fucks about something before.

Marilyn Manson claimed to be “the God of fuck,” though, and Erica Jong wrote a poem about “the land of fuck,” which would indicate that fuck is an uncountable (intangible?) quality.

Well, right now there is America the country and America the beer, so America therefore can be uncountable and countable.
This is complicated as fuck.
I mean, thinking further on it, you can “give a fuck,” you don’t “give some fuck.” So I’d say it’s a quantifiable.

They let people under ten drive where you live?

Speed limits are not requirements. If conditions are such that slower speed is the right choice, then “under the speed limit” is an empty concept.
We have incontrovertible video proof that the front driver was driving the correct speed for conditions, because they were able to stop in time.

Fewer fucks. You are discrete about your fucking, right?

I’d say Lewis Black has covered all the options in the most compact way.

Maybe. Do we know they wouldn’t have been able to stop in time if they had been going 5 mph faster?
Again, I was just asking a question. Maybe they were driving over the speed limit, No way of knowing.
Reaching the pedals is kind of difficult, but I was able to easily pass the “Are you mature enough to acknowledge that some people have different culinary tastes without making an issue of it?” test.

And who would have gained anything by that? The car would have had to stop at exactly the same time, just more abruptly (and their stop was already too abrupt for the truck, through no fault of the car’s driver).

Seems the uncountable form is just about the only one Lewis Black didn’t include!
But I agree, you “give a fuck” or you “don’t give a fuck”; so you give “fewer fucks” or “less of a fuck” but not “less fucks” or “less fuck.”

Sorry. I earned the A Solid Joke Requires Commitment certification a few years back but still haven’t earned the Not Taking It Too Far merit badge.

I have to admit that i haven’t always been discreet about my fucks, i’ve never had a session of fucks blend into another, so … yes.

So glad you got my joke despite my spelling mistake! In my defense, I was helping a gaggle of foreign guests and various teenage girls get the fuck out of the house in time for the train downtown. (Teenagers: the reason swear words were invented!)

No worries on the spelling. I’m actually of the opinion that “discreet” is awkward orthographically, so that it’s natural to avoid that spelling accidentally. Also, congrats on, at least temporarily, ridding yourself of the teenagers.

I met a dingo last weekend in Seattle. Very sweet, very well-trained.

More grist for the correlation between pickup trucks and idiot drivers.
