Summary/Review: Not the book I expected. I thought it was going to be a cultural history of the word “fuck” through history and various usages. That was just the introduction which was pretty good. The main body of this work is 269 page lexicon of different usages and phrases of the f-word. It perhaps make a useful reference book, but definitely not something I’m going to read end to end.
