What the F: What Swearing Reveals about Our Language, Our Brains, and Ourselves
by Benjamin K. Bergen
DID NOT FINISH: 50%
This was a really interesting premise, and it could have been really good. I listened to it on audio, and the narration sucked. Either the audio quality was terrible, or the narrator had a speech impediment, but either way, I struggled to listen to it. That aside, it was boring. I love linguistics and swearing; I wrote an essay on swearing in high school. This is not a topic I should be bored by. But a lot of the information was stuff I already knew, he was just explaining research methods, or it was repeating itself.
I don’t know how anyone could make this topic boring. But he really fucking did.
