The F-Word - Softcover
This is the book everyone had waited for. Here, in one convenient, comprehensive volume, is the complete story of the word still considered the most vulgar utterance in the English language. Rather than tired clichés or graceless jokes, 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.

Review:
Here, in one convenient, comprehensive volume, is the complete story of the word still considered the most vulgar utterance in the English language. You guessed it--it's the F word.
From the Publisher:
"...the first dictionary devoted to a single word, albeit an extraordinarily malleable one."
--New York Magazine
--New York Magazine
"...The F-Word is really a novelty. What makes it so interesting, if not thrilling, to grownups is the sheer volume of its usages..."
--Time
"...hard to read without smiling."
--Minneapolis Star Tribune
"...not for your mother."
--Columbus Dispatch
