FWIW (maybe not much), I just did a quick and dirty google count.
"Fuckin A" (with quotes) has 14,700 hits (with or without the
apostrophe, which is ignored in any case).  "Fuck an A" has 166,
although some may be irrelevant (such as one on the first page of
hits that reads "An A in the west is not neccessarily an A elsewhere,
and really there's no reason for you to even know what the fuck an A
is in the first place"
