How to Swear
Books | Humor / Topic / Adult
Stephen Wildish
Grasping how to swear is a crucial skill to any English-speaker, but it can be a tricky business. Owing to the rich and complex history of swearing, a single word can have a host of different meanings – from expressing surprise, excitement, anger, celebration, disgust or simply that you’re fucked off. If you don’t get it right, you could really be in the shit.How to Swear, by graphic artist and swearing-connoisseur Stephen Wildish, uses all manner of charts and flow diagrams to teach you all you need to know, including: the building blocks of an effective insult; the adverbial uses of various types of animal excrement (horseshit, apeshit etc); and the different parts of speech a swear word can fulfil: ‘Fucking fuck, the fucking fucker’s fucked’. This charming (and rude) book will take you right to the heart of the wondrous world of swearing, with a lot of laughs on the way.

"This book honestly wasn’t for me. I don’t swear but I thought that the smoke will be funny because I don’t mind swearing. And this Book was given to me as a gag gift. I just felt kind of boring for something that was supposed to be silly. It felt like a bunch of filler pages. It was good for me trying to reach mine yearly reading goal. But I wouldn’t recommend unless you somebody who has potty humor. I was also annoyed with the reference to the C word Being the most offensive word in The English language. I don’t think that that’s true. I think that there are words that have been used to oppress people that would be considered way more offensive. Overall this book was pretty Bleh. I can see the market. I just think it could’ve been done better."
