The classic phrase. We say it when we mean it and we say it when we don't. The question is, how should the user define the circumstances that warrant either. A bigger question is if western society can take anything constructive out of the pre-meditated use of the word.
For instance, I just told my mate "Fuck you!". I felt it was perfectly justified and that it should have enlightened him about what we were arguing about. He took the Western road and thought otherwise; his passive aggressiveness is appropriate and my blasphemy is, well, blasphemy.
Funnily enough, he just came down and gave me a peck. Perhaps this is evidence that my targeted epiphany worked...
