What's the worst four-letter word out there — the one word you still can't say in front of your parents even though you're not living in their house anymore?

While the choices may vary, popular opinion tends to agree the "F-word" wins the spot as most offensive.

Director Steve Anderson explores the meaning of the word, along with different perceptions various people and groups have regarding it throughout the course of his documentary, "Fuck." Anderson interviews everyone from linguistics professors and politicians to celebrities and comedians.

Viewers get to hear various people weighing in on the famous four-letter word, including Pat Boone, Ron Jeremy, rapper Ice-T, Judith Martin (aka "Miss Manners") and Hunter S. Thompson.

The documentary manages to be funny and informative without over-sensationalizing the topic. While leaning toward the opinion that the word isn't a big deal, the documentary presents a wide range of opinions on it. Viewers who both love and hate swearing will be able to find aspects of the film that speak to them.

The documentary also examines the history of the word and the various definitions it possesses. Viewers learn what is myth and what is fact. The versatility of the word also is explored, and it turns out there is almost never a situation where its use wouldn't be applicable.

Check out this sometimes hilarious, light-hearted look at popular language at the East Lansing Film Festival on March 25.
