An amusing, informative, controversial and utterly irreverent history of the world’s most liked word.

F, U, C and K – four letters that can trigger outrage, scandal, embarrassment or instant relief if you strike your thumb having a hammer.

Within this wide-ranging and frequently hilarious history of the F-word, Rufus Lodge queries out the origins of our language’s most popular obscenity, and chronicles its dramatic arrival in our everyday lives. As he discovers, the F-word could be about F**k: An Irreverent Background of the F-Word noticed among aristocrats and astronauts, rock celebrities and royals, poets and politicians, even together with Father Ted and Basil Brush.

No-one is safe from the F-word’s outrageous progress, as innocent animals, fragrant moms and squeaky-clean Television hosts are dragged in to the fray. The cast of characters includes Shakespeare, the Beatles, Andy Murray, T.S. Eliot, Elton, Camilla and everyone unlucky enough to reside in an Austrian town with a very embarrassing name.

F*** can be a cavalcade of priceless anecdotes, historical analysis, filthy jokes and definitions too devious for just about any decent dictionary – guaranteed to cause you to laugh, and broaden your vocabulary*.
