I Rock Cleveland offers a lesson in the various superlative uses of the word "rock":
F'N Rocks - Something that does more than rock. It achieves the basic elements of rockness and excels in one or more of the previous qualities.Rocks Hard - Similar in stature to F'N Rocks. These two phrases can be interchangeable. By using all caps for ROCKS you can emphasize the rock. Similarly, by using all caps for HARD you can emphasize the hardness.
Rocks So F'N Hard - Better than rocks, rocks hard, and f'n rocks. Rocks So F'N hard is one the highest compliments you can give to something that rocks. Writing this phrase in all caps should only be done in the rarest of circumstances. If you use the phrase ROCKS SO F'N HARD too often, you will run the risk of trivializing its power.
There are also entries on "Rocks My Lame Ass," "Rocks My Rock And Roll Soul," and "Rocks With All Due Hardness"—but what happened to "Rockin' Like Dokken"? Our copy of Under Lock and Key may be lost to a used-CD bin, but the two words do still rhyme.

rhyming or not, did Dokken ever actually rock?
Speaking of Dokken, be sure to swing by "Don Dokken's Poetry Corner:"

Though, granted, it *is* hard to top Rik from the Young Ones' similarly titled work...

We're on different buses, pollution
