The F-Word is a book written by the American editor of the Oxford Dictionary, researching the usage and meaning of 'fuck' throughout time. I read it a long time ago, but I remember the word itself was used only in the sexual sense prior to about the turn of the last century. Some of the first nonsexual uses started to crop up in the 1910s. So if you've ever seen Deadwood and wondered if cowboys were really referring to each other as motherfuckers, the answer is probably not.
Fuck, yeah.
One of us even wrote a book about it.

I have this dictionary.
It wasn't what I thought it was. Not a great impulse buy.
