Obviously it's the good old fashioned anglo-saxon word for copulation.
The way it rolls softly from the mouth to a harsh "kluck" at the back of the throat.
The many uses it has. It can be used to explain a sexual deed, it can be used to enhance a sentence, it can be used to point out someone's stupidity and it can be used to make very clear that you've just caught your finger in the car door.
Not only this, but it shocks a lot of people (God only knows why, I mean, I find "repuplican" a much nastier sounding word), it looks good and it even FEELS good....

In a US context, it suggests a nasty, bigotted, war-mongering, religious right-winger.
But in a British context, it means an anti-royalist. I consider myself a republican.
In a Northern Irish context, the Republicans even had their own army.
Funny things, words.

In the U.S. connotation, it denotes a slothful laggard who reads the Scottish Socialist Voice, smokes cigarettes, drinks coffee and bad mouths the United States instead of working.
In the RHP connotation, it denotes someone who thinks they know what's best for the rest of us and has no reservations about telling us this fact even though they don't have the skills or life experience to know what they are talking about.
