motherfucker

"There is the word 'motherfucker' one time in my Slaughterhouse-Five, as in 'Get out of the road, you dumb motherfucker.' Ever since that word was published, way back in 1969, children have been attempting to have intercourse with their mothers. When it will stop no one knows."

--Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Fates Worse than Death

The most interesting question arising from this word (for me) is courtesy of Theodore Sturgeon's story "If All Men are Brothers...", where a planet has a utopian society based on incest. He claimed that the inhabitants tried to keep their status to themselves since they didn't get much respect. Now, I ask you: would you mess with someone from The Planet of the Motherfuckers?

I think not.
