Download F--k: An Irreverent History of the F-Word AudioBook Free
An amusing, helpful, controversial and absolutely irreverent background of the world's preferred term. F, U, C and K - four characters that can cause outrage, scandal, shame or instant relief if you strike your thumb with a hammer. In this particular wide-ranging and sometimes hilarious background of the F-word, Rufus Lodge searches out the roots in our language's most popular obscenity, and chronicles its remarkable arrival in our every day lives. As he discovers, the F-word can be listened to among aristocrats and astronauts, rock and roll stars and royals, poets and politicians, even in the company of Daddy Ted and Basil Brush. No-one is safe from the F-word's outrageous progress, as innocent family pets, fragrant moms, and squeaky-clean Television hosts are dragged in to the fray. The ensemble of people includes Shakespeare, the Beatles, Andy Murray, T.S. Eliot, Elton, Camilla, and everyone regrettable enough to stay in an Austrian town with an extremely awkward name. F*** is a cavalcade of precious anecdotes, historical research, filthy jokes and meanings too devious for any respectable dictionary - guaranteed to make you giggle, and broaden your vocabulary*. * The publisher calls for no responsibility for any embarrassment induced when listeners drop the F-bomb after reading this book.
