Quotes by Jesse Sheidlower (?)

“In 1971 the Supreme Court ruled that fuck could be protected political speech in Cohen v. California. This case overturned a 1968 conviction for “disturbing the peace” against an antiwar protestor who wore a jacket with the words “FUCK THE DRAFT” on it. John Marshall Harlan II noted in his decision that “one man’s vulgarity is another’s lyric,” arguing that a state cannot censor its citizens merely for the sake of civility.”
― Jesse Sheidlower, The F-Word

“In a striking example of the unfamiliarity of some Victorians with bawdy vocabulary, we see that the poet Robert Browning egregiously misunderstood one common word. He encountered the couplet “They talked of his having a Cardinal’s hat,/They’d send him as soon an old nun’s twat,” in a seventeenth-century poem. Erroneously believing from this passage that the word referred to a part of a nun’s habit, Browning wrote of “Cowls and twats” in his 1848 poem Pippa Passes.”
