I Just wanted to say, that in the following book: Siegel, Norbert: Geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede hinsichtlich Häufigkeit und thematischer Inhalte bei Toilettengraffiti; Institut für Graffiti-Forschung; Wien; 1992 The missing citation is given on Page 44 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.57.199.103 (talk) 09:55, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

Taboo on his scatalogy

I question the wording abt "American publishers", in light of the following:

Allen Walker Read's paper in American Speech 9:4 (1934). This is something to begin with. According to Read, _fuck_ is cognate with Latin _pungere_ 'to knock, strike'. Formally & semantically, this is more probable than not.

per http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v05/0605.html
It seems he could say some of it, among scholars, before the French edition, even if an American edition of the book was not feasible.

Funk & Wagnalls

Is it worth noting that he was the chairman of the editorial board of the 1964 Funk & Wagnalls? I can provide further detail if someone thinks that fact is relevant to the article.
