The F-Word par Jesse Sheidlower

Got this one under the mistaken impression that it would be more a cultural history than a dictionary; while Sheidlower's introduction is excellent, the bulk of the book is basically dictionary entries for various forms and derivations with OED-style citations. The front matter is very much worth a read, though.

F Word par Jesse Sheidlower

I love words: their history, their changing use, the power they have. And if we want to talk about words of power, the infamous F-word certainly has it. From chasing down the assorted stories of its origins to detailing its flexibility and application, I don't think the author missed a turn (at least up to the time of the book's original publication). One of the appendixes in the original edition (I believe it was removed in later editions) was a listing of how the F-word had wandered and taken up a place in other languages.

Talk about word power!… (plus d'informations)

The F-Word par Jesse Sheidlower

A comprehensive dictionary of all of the versatile uses of the word . Like the OED, has references to first uses of words and phrases with supporting citations from written works, songs, movies and television.

The F-word par Jesse Sheidlower

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 an useful reference book, but definitely not something I'm going to read end to end.
