You hit on it though. The word "fuck" expresses emotion and tension in a very brief desperate way. It's not a cop out if that's literally what energy you're attempting to convey. It's not always "I haven't worked hard enough on this presentation to I'm gonna say 'fuck' instead of something poignant about my frustrations with XML configuration files". Sometimes it's the very desperation that you're trying to get across and touch on.
