Brother From Another Planet!


Hi to Friends, National and International;

Today we explore the use of expletives in everyday language.

For the longest time I have been attempting to understand the use of the word "motherfucker".

Is it a noun or a verb? Just who's mother is being fucked? I suppose the word makes sense if you consider the fact that a woman must get fucked to become a mother, most of the time.

But it is obviously used to represent something foul.

Why not "fatherfucker"? Or auntiefucker? Or teacherfucker? Or sherifffucker? Hmmmmm?
This is such a deep subject, that I find I must continue with my study of it.
And what about this "son of a bitch" profantity?
If one were to call to anyone's mother a bitch, a fight would break out in seconds. It seems to me that to qualify to be a "son of a bitch" (bitch being female dog), your mother has to be a bitch!
And again,why not a "daughter of a bitch",or "friend of a bitch?
Well, enough for now, readers.
Welcome us back next time when we explore the use of colors in language to describe human beings. Deep stuff!
See Ya Next Time!
