Let's say you're cruising down a rural road late at night. Suddenly, a small varmint, say a possum or a cat, jumps in from of your car.

Did you:

A- run it the **** over

or

B- run the **** over it

??

thanks in advance
 
That word can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, gerund, interjection, etc. The possibilities are endless.
 
over it the **** run

I'm going to go with B, just because without the ****

Run over it

makes more grammatical sense than

Run it over



This is deep thinking. Very deep.
 
Sorry...
what was the fvckin qvestion?

I think there is a distinction in the two choices:

"run it the **** over" implies you simply made a choice to run it over and who gives a **** that you did. If the vehicle in your hypothetical were a Ford pinto, I'd go with "run it the **** over" because that's about all a pinto could do.

"run the **** over it" implies a stronger degree, i.e., a good running over. So if I were driving an F650 Super Truck, I would run the fyck over it.

Though, I agree there is some similarity.
 
I'd definitely try to miss the little fvcker ;)
Prying roadkill out of undercarriages is less fun than it sounds.

I once drove a '56 F100 panel truck across Nevada on a moonlit midnight and must've hit at least 50 fvcking rabbits and missed a thousand more.
What I found jammed into that poor truck the next morning was a fvcking horror show :eek:
