Expletive attributive

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard someone say a bad word before? Like maybe a grown-up when they stub their toe or get really mad? Well, sometimes people use bad words to describe things without actually using the bad word out loud. That's where something called an "expletive attributive" comes in.

An expletive attributive is when you use a word that doesn't really mean anything, like "freaking" or "darn," to describe something in a stronger way. For example, instead of saying "that food is bad," you might say "that freaking food is bad."

It's kind of like when you get really excited about something and you use lots of big words to describe it even though you could just say "I really like it." Using an expletive attributive is like adding some extra emphasis or emotion to what you're saying.

Now, it's important to remember that some of these "bad words" are still not okay to use, especially around other people. But sometimes when you're really upset or trying to express a strong feeling, using an expletive attributive can help you get your point across. Just make sure you use it appropriately and don't hurt anyone's feelings or make them uncomfortable.
