Thread Name: BS: Correct usage of the 'F' word
Subject: RE: BS: Correct usage of the 'F' word
I used to have a book (still have?) of World War II songs and ballads. In it was a song by a squaddie posted to some far flung outpost of the country. It is called "Fucking Halkirk". The "F" word is used on every line which may seem like overkill, but in fact only serves to heighten the sense of despair and frustration. If I come across it over the weekend I'll post it here.
