- Yes. this is a video about the F word video. Please don't watch if you don't want to hear the f word. If you are a person who can take a bit of cussing and curious about how people really spoke in the past when things were totally f'd up, this is for you. meaning watch it...now... share, like, subscribe ...watch again.
The soldiers of the great war swore just like soldiers today. The f word isn't new.
enjoy

Great stuff!!!!!
Thank you so much. I been very curious about the f word useage. With the many different answers this gives a clear answer.
By the way did they swear similar during WW2 and the 1950s?
Thank you. You bet yer f ing socks they dropped more f bombs exponentially. I'm not an expert but FUBAR comes from WW2 and probably did a lot for f word usage in general as it was used in media and situations that wouldn't have thought of using the phrase rather than the acronym.
During The Great War, British soldiers used the f word so often that NOT using it as a better way to really get someone's attention. For example, "Get your f*cking rifles" was normal routine but "Get your rifles" immediately implied urgency and danger...
Good example. Not much different than today.
people didn't start swearing until the early 1960s so this is impossible
of course naturally, it was not heard on TV and Radio. but in real life, people swore.
they WHAT? no way, i cant believe this!
