About the book

Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and countless other comedians have incoporated this term in their comedy acts. Samuel Jackson even shouted it in a snake infested plane. Offensive? Certainly. Taboo? Perhaps. But the title's profane word has been a touchstone of American culture for the past 30 years. The phrase has also become the subject of a Supreme Court decision. As such it is the perfect material for this facinating cultural and etymological study. A delightful book designed with tongue-in-cheek elegance.
