It's performance swearing, OP. And on here often feels forced and self-conscious.
Lucindas trying hard to be edgy.

Whereas calling people Lucindas definitely isn’t a stab at edginess…

I agree with the poster who said it's a great pain management word.
In the delivery room, it was like a brothel with all the fucking going on.
It fucking huuuuuurts.
I'm gonna fucking kill yoooooou.
I'm gonna rip your fucking balls oooooff.
You get the gist.

On the internet? Fuck knows 🤷

It is though. It's an ugly word, to be used sparingly and it's effective when it is. Chucking it around in casual conversation just makes me lose any kind of respect for the speaker who clearly have very limited vocabulary

Nonsense. Stephen Fry swears like a trooper. Hardly a man of limited vocabulary.

No, not attempted edginess. Just a clumsy cliché written in a hurry. Sorry, it was a mis-step.
I still mean the rest of it though.
