Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.

We call it simply, Russian soul.”

'Fucking' can be used as either a verb or an adjective. Even a noun. It is a very versatile word and is often context sensitive.

Yes, he use it as adjective here. Imagine some sentence ''there is a walking man.'' Walking is adjective to describe man. He is a walking man, which is a man who does walking now.

Judging by the context of the sentence, it seems that the intention of 'fucking' is not to denote an action of the capybara. But to instead describe it through the vernacular; fucking: something of note or needing of emphasis.
In your example, we could substitute 'walking' for 'great' or 'exceptional.' Perhaps that makes the usage more understandable?

Yes, fucking is all makes sense now! Before your lesson, I am loss in pit of fucking confusion. But now, my good Onep, I am wizard of fucking word! Thank you for this lesson which you do give from bottom of heart at no cost from me. Only mystery that is existing now is how selfless man as you is not moderator of beloved forum.
