Epithets – God of the Machine
Sep 232002
 

VodkaPundit writes about using “SteveCase” as an obscene epithet to circumvent the AOL chat police, and that works just fine for the standard four-letter epithets. But if you hit your thumb with a hammer, it’s just not satisfying enough to say “SteveCase.” You need something richer, more mellifluous — something like “Boutros Boutros-Ghali,” (brief pause between the two Boutroses). Or maybe “Buttafuoco,” which enjoyed a brief epithetic vogue in the early 90s, when Joey was making the scene at Moomba. It did. Really.
