Motherfucker (; ), sometimes abbreviated as mofo, mf, or '''''mf'er, or just simply mfer,' is an English-language vulgarism. It is a form of the profanity fuck. In common usage, it is rarely used to refer to one person having intercourse with a woman who is a mother. Rather, the word usually refers to a mean, despicable, or vicious person; or any particularly difficult or frustrating situation. Conversely, it can be used positively, as a term of admiration, as in the term badass motherfucker (), meaning a fearless and confident person.

Faggot, often shortened to fag, is a slur in the English language used to refer to gay men. The slur is also sometimes indiscriminately used against other members of the LGBTQ community, and has also seen extended use in American youth culture beginning around the turn of the 21st century as a broader reaching insult more related to masculinity and group power structure. In a case of linguistic reclamation, many LGBTQ people have reclaimed it as a neutral or positive term for describing themselves, as well as reinforcing in-group solidarity.
