Other Forms
When used as a verb, to ***** means to complain. Usage in this context is almost always pejorative in intent. Allegedly, it was originally used to refer to the stereotypical wife's constant complaints about petty things, effectively tieing in the etymology with the vulgar slang for an unpleasant woman.[27]
As an adjective, the term sometimes has a meaning opposite its usual connotations. Something that is *****ing or *****in' is really great. For example, an admired motorcycle may be praised as a "*****in' bike". [28]
Self-Identified *****es

- ***** (performer)
- Elton John. "It is my theme song," in discussion of The ***** Is Back. [5]
- Feminist ***** Webring. "I am proud to be a feminist *****. There is nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself and telling people they are sexist, rude, and/or patriarchal jerks." [29]
- Madonna. "I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a *****, okay." [30]
- Sandra Bullock. "I am a *****. I am a horrible, evil ***** but I'm a good actress and I can act like a really sweet person. Everyone has it in them." [31]
