The F-Word: Now in Book Form

It’s like a dictionary, but only for words derived from a certain F-word!  (You know which one.  You know which one.)  Now in its third edition, The F-Word is really the definitive look on how we all got so f’ed on this word over the centuries.  Written by Jesse Sheidlower, the Oxford English Dictionary’s BMOD (Big Man on Dictionary), it goes a little something like this:

After an entertaining forward written by F-word–loving comic Lewis Black, Mr. Sheidlower swiftly chronicles the F-word’s earliest appearances in various media, as well as its linguistic roots. From there, he offers an OED-style dictionary of the term and its myriad uses and adaptations.

Including such favorites as:  

“Frisking,” “fiber,” “futz” and “motherloving”—not to mention scores of others we won’t print here (though handy for the next time you want to swear creatively). Except this one: “Mammy-jammed.” If you don’t know it, look it up.

I think we can all guess, given the context, what “mammy-jammed” means.  OK, did you guess?  Oops, you guessed wrong.  It actually means,

a traffic jam consisting almost entirely of, and caused by, women driving their children to and from school.

Funny, though I have no idea what that has to do with the F-word.
