A synthetic word forced by editors onto authors during the days of strict censorship in the publishing industry as a replacement for the expletive "fuck", it usually is seen in novels published in the 1940s and '50s. While Ernest Hemingway resisted resorting to "fug", his fellow Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck did use it. The word "fug" was most sensationally used in Norman Mailer's 1948 best-selling war novel "The Naked and The Dead".
