	Expletive infixation (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Expletive infixation is a process by which an expletive or profanity is inserted into a word, usually for intensification.
		The most commonly inserted expletives are adjectival: either participles (fucking, mother-fucking, freaking, blooming, bleeding, damned) or adjectives (bloody).
		This suggests that the rules for the placement of the expletive are not arbitrary, but instead derive from fundamental aspects of English phonology.

	Infix - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In this language, a grammatical form similar to the active voice is formed by adding the infix -um- to the first syllable of a verb, so a speaker saying "I graduated" uses the derived form grumaduate.
		Thus from picoline is derived pipecoline, and from lutidine is derived lupetidine; from phenidine and xanthoxylin are derived phenetidine and xanthoxyletin.
		Tmesis is sometimes considered a type of infixation.

	LINGUIST List 4.907: Infixes
		It would be analogous to "too effing right" and oust the form with pre-stress expletive infixation (unbe-effing- lieveable), which occurs freely in simplexes OR at constituent boundaries but doesn't like to appear within a subconstituent of a composite form with a strong internal boundary elsewhere.
		I wonder whether anyone has observed a feature of expletive infixation as it appears in my dialect: the quite perceptible tensing of a normally unstressed vowel immediately preceding the infixed item.
		Affixes are not typically word-forms, and I would agree with Macmillan that the parallels between infixation and interposing in damn bloody rude and half past fucking four are very close.

	LINGUIST List 4.887: Infixes
		The definitive account of what came to be called 'Expletive Infixation' (abso-blooming-lutely, etc.) was by John McCarthy: Prosodic Structure and Expletive Infixation.
		On infixation and "infixation": it is emphatically NOT the case that an affix automatically becomes an infix 'once it [finds] itself between the stem and a new affix'.
		Nor is it the case (contra one recent poster and an old "On Language" column by William Safire) that 'whole' in 'a whole nother thing' is an infix.

		Moreover, these differences -- significant or not -- are never taught to us directly but picked up in the act of learning the language.
		Expletive Infixation is another process that illustrates aproperty of speech which is never taught to us, but we all know and use.
		The rule which we all have seemed to learn is that when inserting a foot (some combination of strong and weak stress) it must go somewhere between feet and must go before last foot.

	CSLI Calendar, 26 November 1997, vol. 13:11
		This question leads to a distinction among two kinds of regularities that have both been called 'lexical rules': productive rules, for which one always knows, given an appropriate input, what the output will be (e.g.
		regular inflection, diminutives, and expletive infixation); and semiproductive rules, for which one has to know whether the output is an actual word and what its peculiarities might be (e.g.
		I will argue that the productive cases warrant setting up independent lexical entries for the productive affixes, within-word combination being accomplished online by rules of the same character as regular phrasal rules; while the instances of semiproductive regularities must be listed individually and related by inheritance hierarchies.

		Instead, consider yourself as lucky as a lottery winner and just give it away, without the ego trip.
		(Aug 23-Sept 22) You can use the language construction known as expletive infixation to infuse a word with new emphasis, intensity or meaning, as in fanfuckingtastic.
		However, you can't do this with any old word; trying to stick it to ridiculous results in terribly awkward amalgams like ridifuckingulous or ridfuckingiculous.
