Liam Guilar’s Reviews > Swearing: A Social History of Foul Language, Oaths, and Profanity in English > Status Update

I was going to read the chapter on Expansionism and Xenophobia on the plane, but the two men in the row behind me ran the gamut of racism and xenophobia in a one hour flight so I will have to read the chapter later....it's very good so far. He's good on Old and Middle English, and he manages to not only trace the development of swearing but say some interesting things about Chaucer along the way....
