Asked on November 4, 2021 in Single word requests.
In lexical words, an intensifier can be inserted as an intensifier. Tmesis is used to describe this construction. And yes, expletives are very often used as intensifiers here.
The word “whatsoever” is also found in others like “howsoever”, etc. , which are now words, which are now words in their own right.
What are the rules about where we stick the intensifier, based on prosody in English. We don’t find * unbe-fucking-believevable but we do find abso-fucking-lutely. What are some interesting things about the idea of non-whole (or, a whole) parts other people share?

Asked on March 25, 2021 in American english.
Pray is often negative in connotation.
The definition of “Pry” is neutral in connotation, and is a shortening of prise/prize.
(This usage of pry is a verb, so one can’t say “be pry” in the same way one can say “be
curious”.)
