I guess if you do not know what the word means, do not use it. This is an actual picture of a department store in Osaka, Japan, snapshot taken on January 4.
According to the person who took the picture:
“Well, a childhood friend of mine and I were strolling along the local street in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. Being around the extra-genki Osaka-jins and salesladies screaming ‘Irashaimasse’ from every direction for the ongoing New Year Sales has never made us feel more at home. On our way to catch up over coffee, I walked into this store to check some things. Truth is, I didn’t even notice the posters. When I looked around, each corner had posters that printed ‘fucking sale’. I didn’t know how to react but what caught me by surprise was that none of the people around me seem to understand the profanity. My friend Sarah and I, both of mixed Japanese descent, both bilingual in Japanese and English, were struck with the comical twist. Pretty sure I would have never seen this elsewhere, I had to snap a shot.”

I somehow don’t want to believe the shop owner knew English, or they wouldn’t do it.
The word “fuck” originally had nothing to do with profanity. I find it curious how people lable certain words as taboo although it would have been wise to avoid using the term. The real question is what the owner thought it meant.
Lolx, what ever gave them the idea XD
maybe its just an expression that they are having a 20% off sale :huh:
Maybe the Owner is Half Japanes Half Black ?
They “F’ed” the sale. lol wut?
