𝔸 guy walks into a convenience store and grabs a single-serving drink, a single-serving TV dinner, a single-serving toothpaste, a single-serving dessert, a single-serving everything.
When he gets to the counter with it the lady at the counter says, "Let me guess, you're single, right?"
The man says, "Yeah, how could you tell?"
And she says, "Because you're ugly as fuck."
If something is single-serving, it is enough for one person only. We could translate it with "mono-portion." The intensifier '...as fuck' is used to emphasise an adjective. For example, 'Jimmy is as boring as fuck' means Jimmy is extremely boring. I don't know how that could be translated into French. Clearly the meaning is 'extremement' but that word doesn't give us the tone of '...as fuck,' which is colloquial.
Please check out the table below, as well as the video, to learn how compound adjectives are formed.
