MOTHERFUCKERLESS BROOKLYN By Ron Singer
Thanks to vegans, yuppies, hipsters, muffies, the lurid and the florid give way to “Oh my God, these diaper prices!” and“Isn’t inflation the poo!” From“lick my dick,” to “macrobiotic,” from“asshole,” to “alternative,” the mother tongue is sucking hind tit: Brooklynese is lexiconically depleted. Thank god we still have our immigrants: 性交,, Chinese, for “fuck”; mierda, Spanish, for “shit.” But mark my words, motherfuckers, at this rate, how much longer can batty Brooklynites echolocate? Fucking A! If not for jerk-offs like me and you, the expletives would all be deleted. —The Brooklyn Rail, Dec 2009-Jan 2010
