Inspired by my fun reinstalling all my software over the last few days, here's some useful terms should you ever be working with computers.

"Fucker" - any device, particularly one that's acting in a problematic way.
"Fucking" - To act in a problematic way - see "Fucking Up" and "Fucking About"
"Fucked" - one of two possible end results of a problematic functioning, the other being "It sort of works, most of the time"

These can be used in combination like so: "The Fucking Fucker's Fucked"

I came across this terminology from a computing background, but I'm informed that it's also in use for motorbikes, cars and pretty much all other kinds of technical profession.

You forgot...

'Oh for fuck!'

I definitely heard that coming from the direction of your desk a few times.
