i love seeing professors getting super excited before talking about the only infix in English it’s so funny

#an infix is an affix that happens in the middle of the word#an affix is a prefix or suffix#our only infix is “fucking” lmao#like fan-fucking-tastic#or abso-fucking-lutely#it’s just so funny the profs always get a huge smile#and gets all cheeky

THIS IS SO COOL.
Like I knew that it was a thing, I just didn’t realize it was such a UNIQUE THING.

Bloody is also an infix (fan-bloody-tastic), as are freaking and frigging.

So basically every English infix is a swear.
