Congratu-BLEEPING-lations!
It’s time we had a little talk about your use of expletive infixation.
‘Expletive infixation’ is the linguistic term for profanity inserted into a word for emphasis.
(For this thread, we’ll use 'BLEEPING,' but feel free to substitute another word.)

The main reason, linguists believe, is that the curse word comes before the syllable that bears the primary stress. (The ‘tas’ is stressed in ‘fantastic.’)
If you say ‘unbe-BLEEPING-lievable,’ that follows the normal pattern.
But the equally familiar ‘un-BLEEPING-believable’ is an exception.
Either works. So listen to your heart.

In fact, expletives were probably WITHHELD from you when you learned the language...
You innately acquired rules that govern the structure and pronunciation of words.
Your sub-BLEEPING-conscious is a powerful thing!

Jesus-F*cking-Christ! The Trump Tariffs are gonna tank the US economy.
Family friendly and an expletive at the same time
However, it doesn’t for unbelievable. Situational

and so many "news" sites do this
and the reason they do it is two fold

adding extra but meaningless words disguises the fact that you don't actually have much to say
it fools the reader into thinking that the author shares the readers values
And I especially love the sass from Merriam-Webster
See THHGTTG.
Thought you'd like this.
Practically spat out loud, syllables punctuated with short angry pauses, biting the bottom lip before major emphasis on the fucking. (There's a phrase you don't read every day.)
So cathartic.
And my mom said I was an underachiever!

It was painful using “bleeping” instead of very appropriate expletives!
Words to get the point across.
I love you, Miss Merriam.
Thank you for the brain tickle.
Best thing I’ve heard in a week!
You should also do words roots on these posts
The moron-in-chief just started off what will be a global recession. So… fuck it.
Expenitive fundixation. Do that one next month.
I suppose we can't just go around throwing words in there hap-shitting-hazardly, can we?
It’s 30 de-fucking-grees outside!
You really should.
A certain audience of one desperately needs a refresher on the word "reciprocal".
I'm abso-blooming-lutely sure that's just a sub-category of 'tmesis'?
