About this listen
A skillfully updated edition of The F-Word which renders a comprehensive portrait of English's most notorious and colorful word.
No word has generated more uses, more creative euphemisms, and more strong opinions than f--k. Jesse Sheidlower's historical dictionary, now in print for over 25 years, charts the uses of f--k and its many permutations, from absof--kinglutely to zipless f--k. It illustrates every sense of every entry with quotations, from the earliest that can be found to a recent example, showing exactly how the word has been used throughout history.
This new edition is not just a minor update but a comprehensive revision of Sheidlower's groundbreaking text for the internet age. Major new discoveries push back the known history of f--k by almost two hundred years. Sheidlower also considers rapidly changing attitudes towards the use of f--k in public discourse. The volume includes over 2,500 new quotations; over 150 new antedatings (earlier examples of existing entries, improving our understanding of the word's development); and over 150 entries, including high-profile recent uses such as AF 'as f--k', f--kboi, and the group of expressions of the sort to give no f--ks or zero f--ks given.
