Torrent description

“History of Modern Colloquial English, published in 1920, included a half-page discussion about a slang
term without ever mentioning it. The word Bloody, a term considered so taboo at that time that it
couldn\'t even be mentioned in a book on lexicography. More than 80 years later, one can barely escape
hearing more-graphic taboo terms on cable television and in the movies or reading them in highbrow
publications such as the New Yorker.

Hughes, a South African English professor, has compiled a fascinating reference work on the history,
sociology, and literary uses of foul language and profanity. Alphabetically arranged by topic, the work
covers, in addition to terms themselves, a wide range of subjects and individuals: Ethnic insults;
Hollywood; Medieval period; Political correctness; and Twain, Mark--to name only a few. The index
provides access to words that are not entry headings. Engagingly written and diligently researched, the
entries provide helpful information to both lay readers and scholars and include useful bibliographies.

The work also offers superb ready-reference information on hard-to-find arcane information, for example,
the first time a slang term for copulation was uttered on British television, major dictionaries that
include or don\'t include profane terms, and the case name and citation number of the FCC decision about
George Carlin\'s controversial \"Filthy Words\" broadcast in 1973.
