The F-bomb is old, it has been used for centuries, and was not always taboo. Known as "the most versatile word in the English language" and as the "great Australian adjective", the eff-word seems de rigeur in today's movies, television programmes and online media. This session considers how, when and why one of the most popular vocabulary items for learners is used, and its multiplicity of functions and of meanings, from both social and academic perspectives.
This session comes from our Advanced Use of English Practice & Feedback series. Each one-hour single-topic session reviews advanced instances and implications of the topic, problem areas, common errors and traps, and includes illustrative exercises and time for a "problem clinic".
