F-bomb

With “F-bomb” now anointed to the sacred text of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, it is — by definition — a conventional word, acceptable in any setting. So what the fuck is wrong with this picture? Here’s what: “F-bomb” blows.

Eminem and Rihanna performed their song Love the Way you Lie at the Grammys last night and, well, let’s just say someone at CBS is going to have #%&@ing difficult conversation with his boss today. The censors let slip an instance of an “F-bomb” during the performance.
