Over at Language Log, Chris Potts has a great post entitled, ”The Connotations of the F-word.” He begins with a “connotations hypothesis,” being that ”a word’s connotations are reflected in the words that it tends to co-occur with.” Which words is the F-word most commonly associted with? Is it really all about sex?
