Some news!

I am now actively working on a new edition of The F-Word. I've just posted about the project on the Strong Language blog, with examples of new entries & a list of things I'm actively looking for. Please send me suggestions, quotations, &c.! And please share this!

So there’s fucknut which is just your run of the mill dipshit.

Also, not sure if this counts but my dad used to be a tennis buff and one of his tennis playing buddies was not very good. He also had a tiny, itty bitty fuse. Kind of comic in retrospect. Whenever he’d make a bad shot he would scream at the top of his lungs “fuck fuckers fucked!!”.

I use the expression to this day.

Thanks very much! "fucknut" was not in fact in the last edition, but I've already drafted it for the new one. The earliest example I have is 1980.
