Excellent researched book on the origins of profanities and bad language. Backcover: A witty guide to the seamier side of words and wordplay, and an authoritative look at how language is used to convey emotions, The Joy of Swearing is a guide to the origins of the curse and swearing through the ages. Guaranteed to help you out in those hammer-to-thumb moments.
