"Fuck" isn't an adjective. The gerund form "fucking" and the past tense "fucked" can be used as participial adjectives.

Speaking of which: Space Nazis - so very cringe-worthy.
And I'm sure their grammar wasn't even that great.

You mean Daleks?
I didnt think the TNG skant or skirt uniforms looked good, but I really did like the long tunic dress uniforms.
Riker fell in love with a hologram ("11001001")...and still had strong enough feelings for her years later that a telepathic alien assumed she was a viable candidate for his wife ("Future Imperfect").
Janeway fell in love with a hologram, with the encouragement of many of her crew ("Fair Haven")...and felt strongly enough about him that she knowingly risked the lives of two of her crewmembers sooner than shut down the program he was in ("Spirit Folk").
I cringe when our heroic Starfleet officers seem to be having trouble telling fantasy from reality.

Haha. Yeah, I kind of liked the episode myself.
But then I get a certain sick enjoyment of watching "Spock's Brain" so don't go by me
Kinda. On the other hand, questions whether I'm from Australia started getting on my nerves pretty early, too.
I didn't say it was. I said when used as. Form and function are not always the same, especially if you consider diachronic aspects, and a participle or a gerund can have attribute functions. A qualifier qualifies when acting as such, to be cute about it. But I guess you would have to have been there for the according academic debate.
Boy, pedantry sure is fun!
EDIT: what I'm saying is that the grammar did not descend from the heavens. It's a bunch of theories attempting to explain diverse phenomena and usages, not a fixed rule book that only looks at where a comma may be placed (and even that is up for debate depending on how you approach the topic).

Sorry but you seem to reaching for things now. Like from the moment you said "annoyed".
All of Star Trek: Insurrection. Save the priveliged white people!
Same here.
The skant was just awful and ugly and impractical. But I too liked the dress uniforms.
Scotty looked cool in his kilt.
its not the idea of a man wearing a dress - its just cringey for a man to wear an ugly dress that doesn't suit them.
Hey what about a Bollywood dress!
Something I cringe at is Luxanna Troi and Christine Chapel.

I cringe whenever I see Khan spelled "Kahn" or canon spelled "cannon."
And Lenara Kahn is Kahn and not Khan. Not to be confused either. Inventing new names is tricky.
It's cringeworthy when they spell Garak 'Garek'.
Even though they have zero claim on the planet that will literally save billions of lives! And when a bunch of Native Americans had a similar problem on the show and more of a case, we did the exact opposite! Because fuck those guys!
I really hate this movie, in case nobody had noticed.
It still would have sucked if they were brown but I take your point.
True, Achilles did look like he could kick some ass.
But, in this universe, they got genetically engineered soldiers on the other side of the galaxy that kill for fun, take steroid drugs every few hours and have no conscience. And got weapons strapped all over them.
On the other side they got a warrior culture that worship a warrior messiah and will eat out your heart.
Otoh, at that particular point in time we had an organization that refuses to say it's a military, doesn't like wargames, only had 50 ships to it's name, and designed a skant with no visible pockets. Where do they put the phaser? If the Dominion invaded then, that's all folks.
It just doesn't seem that practical and it looked like futuristic bad fashion on purpose.
What pockets?
As if anyone they could get to make a program like that would have any experience dating real people.
(I jest.)
