The F-word, again

Christopher Hitchens writes an amusing (and historically accurate) piece on the word "F-off." Using Cheney’s auggestion that Leahy try an anatomical impossibility, Hitchens points out that the use of the F-word and soccer are the British empire’s two great contributions to the world. Although I would dispute this (see elections in India), this is a fine piece of writing.
