From the Vulgarity Department


Not sure if we need any of them, but for what it’s worth, there are movies (dUH) that dare to pepper their dialogue with these LOL. In doing so, they of course immediately limit their audience as it factors into the movie’s rating. But can you imagine movies such as “Goodfellas” (1990) or “Pulp Fiction” (1994) without them?

Today’s pick - MOTHERFUCKER - (colloquial) A term of abuse.

A common enough insult yet also a seldom heard expression in movie dialogue. This word draws its great effect from the taboo of incest. Apparently it has been around since 1918 and originates from North America.
