This week, Doonesbury is focusing on the VP’s recent usage of the F-word on the Senate floor (at least he ddn’t use it ib television.)
When asked if he would apologize and refrain from using such language in the future, the VP refuses, and indicates his desire to continue with his language. Apparently, he finds it catharsic. I can sympathize. The VP then indicates his desire to spice up his language, and lists some of the words he intends to use.
He lists: the “S-word”, the “P-word”, the “C-word”, and the “J-word”.
The S-word: Obviously, Harry Truman’s favorite word: Manure
The P-word: Could be either male or female genitals
It’s a gag. He wants people to think “J-word? What’s the J-word?”, and then chuckle when they realize how the strip got into their heads. In other words, there is no J-word, you plring nbbhry!
On the same token, there’s a “Malcolm in the Middle” episode where a neighbor criticizes his mom because Malcolm has taught other kids the “R-word”. What’s the R-word? Or is it a big TV whoosh?
