What part of speech is "fucking" in this sentence?

"You are the ugliest fucking person I have ever seen."

Re: Grammar help

I think this "fucking" is the same as in "You are the fucking ugliest person I have ever seen." In this case, fucking is sorta like an adverb which defines what kind of "ugliest" is meant here. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Or maybe the person who is fucking is the ugliest person he's/she's ever seen [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

It's an intensifier.

The word, not Joe's manboobs. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

And that Warrior topic alone is making me want to buy one of those new JS30 guitars and try my hand at routing a trem cavity and installing a Floyd Rose as practice for when I put a Floyd on my string-thru DK27. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Back to the topic... Hopefully the thread starter got his question answered as well as uncalled for (but usually welcomed) entertainment. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hey Ron, when you're in a restaurant, when the waitress/waiter asks you what you'd like to eat/drink, you point to the pictures on the menu rather than tell them what you'd like don't you?
