Linguists do alot of researching on curse words, partly because they're interesting and partly because they often don't seem to follow the rules of other words. Think about how many different ways you can use the word "fuck". "fucking fuck fucks fucking fucks" is a grammatical sentence in English!
Following is a genuine scholarly article which also happens to be about sentences such as "fuck you" and what the underlying grammar is. The paper is called ENGLISH SENTENCES WITHOUT OVERT GRAMMATICAL SUBJECTS by Quang Phuc Dong (which is a pseudonym for some American dude).
