Recently NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr took to Twitter to share a fascinating realization of the usage of the F-Word in the world’s history. In that tweet, the former Cup Series driver shared a screenshot of the rising and falling trend of the F-word. The trend showed a major hike in the usage of the word in the early 21st century.
So I was googling the historical usage of the F 💣 . We stopped using it in the early 1800s and then picked it back up just after 1950? Apparently, it was banned in print in the 1800s and didn’t show back up in dictionaries till the 1960s. #TheMoreYouKnow pic.twitter.com/Bnoc5jeZQ4
