F-Bomb

How It's Used

“Then his daughter Alexandra delivered a highly personal eulogy that not only pulled back the curtain on Mr. Valenti, a consummately prepared and famously discreet man, but also took some shots at his colleagues, the news media and the current administration in Washington.

“‘By the way, he dropped the F-bomb plenty of times,’ she said."

—David M. Halbfinger, “Hollywood’s Jack Valenti, Through a Daughter’s Eyes,” The New York Times, July 23, 2007.

“Talk to a long-suffering Knicks fan over 40 and before long he'll be waxing poetic about the Willis Reed game and those Bradley-Frazier teams. They'll spin Bill Brasky-like tales about Bernard and Micheal Ray and drop a few f-bombs as they rehash the Charles Smith game and John Starks' 2-for-18.”

—Bill Simmons, “The Bigger the Stage, the Harder They Fall,” ESPN.com, December 5, 2007.

Kenneth:  Mr. Jordan, exciting news.  Your old high school wants you to speak at graduation.  And they said you could drop up to five F-bombs.

—"Kidney Now!," 30 Rock, Season 3, Episode 22.
