The F***ing History of Swearing

Trade Paperback

This book is a bold and expressively designed treasure trove of information about the history of swearing. With its bold and expressive design, The F***ing History of Swearing is an outstanding visual feast.

Swearing is and always has been regarded as undereducated, obscene, rude and profane in society. Yet despite your mum s best efforts, cussing is mainstream. It s even more than that, it s an integrated part of our culture. The number of times we swear is huge. Most often it occurs naturally and you would have to force yourself not to swear. We don t think twice about shouting the word FUCK if we hurt ourselves or miss the bus in the morning. It just happens automatically and that s where it gets interesting.
