That word again
Not only brillantly written, but laugh-out funny without (overtly) trying to be: Fuck by Christopher Fairman (March 2006). It will be interesting to see which journal, if any, will publish this. Not to mention, who will debate him?
On a side note, I missed a reference to Bill Bryson's brilliant discussion of fuck in Mother Tongue, where he lays out all the various ways the word can be used. Brilliant, indeed.

The word "fuck" nowadays is used as an adjective for something that is way out or extravagant and at least it's no longer that vulgar
