How To Swear

There are those who swear when it’s called for — a hammer to the thumb, a deer bounding into the road. And there are those chosen few who elevate cursing, cussing, and heavy profanity to an artform. For an almost Shakespearean example of this, rewatch any of Ian McShane’s scenes from Deadwood. (See also: Wolf of Wall Street. Or Goodfellas. Or Casino. Scorsese really likes swearing.)

If you too would like to wield the sword of the lewd and vulgar tongue, this book can help. With diagrams and charts, along with history and etymology, How to Swear will give you just the right word to express whatever it is you’re feeling, in the most obscenely colorful way possible. – Shop Now
