f-bomb

[Barnhart]

_f-bomb_ is new to me.  Uses of Google Groups is interesting particularly
for its early use example (1990).  However, for currency and statistical
purposes I am more comfortable with Google News which yield "about" 31
hits (done just a few minutes ago).  Of these, the sources number 22 print
publications and 4 .com's or .org's.  All of them, of course, from the
previous month.  To flesh this research out, I will go to Nexis and see
what their numbers are.

I have found in Google News "about" 167 returns.  I have not analyzed them
yet.  However, _f-bomb_ may be on the rise but it hasn't taken over yet.
Nor, do I suspect it will any time soon, but that is just a guess.

Regards,
David
