In tracking down the word's origins-largely unknown-and the abundance of court cases involving it, Fairman highlights the long struggle of conservative forces to expel that word, and other forms of speech, from American society, in direct opposition to the first amendment. . Drawing from a vast selection of historical documentation, Fairman also explores the nature of taboo and related trivia, such as the word's usage across gender lines. Fairman also addresses the downfalls inherent to the amendment, including the exception for speech used to incite violence, and the myriad of punishments used, at state and national levels, to deal with those exceptions.

@$#*%! Our most taboo word and how the law keeps it forbidden.This entertaining read is about the word "fuck", the law, and the taboo. Fundamentally, it persists because it is taboo; not in spite of it.. When it's the government trying to cleanse your language, though, you should worry. It also explains why attempts to curtail the use of "fuck" through law are doomed to fail. If the government controls the words we use, it can control what we think. The power of taboo provides the framework to understand these uncertainties. Words are ideas. Whether you shout it out in the street or whisper it in the bedroom, deliberately plan a protest, or spontaneously blurt it out, if you say "fuck," someone wants to silence you, either with a dirty look across the room or by making a rule that you cannot say the word. To protect this liberty, we must first understand why the law's treatment of "fuck" puts that freedom at risk.This book examines the law surrounding the word and reveals both inconsistencies in its treatment and tension with other identifiable legal rights that the law simply doesn't answer
If you seek Amy. FIRST A NOTE ON STYLE: Contrary to the statements of author Christopher Fairman, it is not the position of this writer that any reviewer treating his book or the law review article from which it stems is required to actually use the title of his work instead of some euphemism such as the f word or [] in writing about this material. In a free society truly vibrant discourse is promoted when the participants are permitted to express their reactions as they see fit free of either any mandatory editorial exc. "Excellent." according to William R. Toddmancillas. An important book on free speech. Odd that I was not able to includein review the word prominently appearing in the title. Rather makesthe case that this word is controversial, misunderstood, and shouldnot be restricted as per First Amendment Rights.Book arrived quickly in excellent condition. I highly recommend this book Marla Craddick I used this book for a research paper on the topic and found Fairman's writing extremely readable and his ideas well explained and accessible. The book itself is well organized, with chapters dedicated to each major idea or court case. Again, I want to stress the readability of this book as many attorneys do not know how to write for the lay person. Fairman's style melds humor with poignant prose regarding the nature of the First Amendment and how it is threatened by our cultural attachment to word taboo
