WARNING: Usually considered vulgar. X-rated. Censored. Bleep. Not for polite company. Due to adult language, viewer and parental discretion advised. Wash your mouth out with soap. Good boys and girls don't use that kind of language. Obscene. Immoral. Immodest. And indecent.
IS THIS ALL YOU THINK ABOUT THE F-WORD? HERE'S THE FULL STORY!
Has any other single word ever sparked so much creativity, and captured so many imaginations? The F-Word contains page after page of actual, uncensored examples of the word in all its varied and robust use, from its first appearance in English in the fifteenth century to its use in the Starr Report.
This second edition includes many new words and phrases, F-words from Britain, Ireland, and Australia, and hundreds of new examples of usage. Words, explanations, and examples come from thousands of sources, including Robert Burns, Norman Mailer, E.E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, Liz Phair, Jack Kerouac, Anne Sexton, Playboy, and the Internet.
Here is all you've (n)ever wanted to know about the word still considered the most vulgar utterance in the English language--and perhaps one of the most creative, as well.
