My husband, for some reason totally unclear to me, likes to watch comedians on HBO. Usually he chooses young Black guys, sometimes women, but normally guys. They all seem to have a love for the word “motherf****r.” This is funny? I guess I’m old, or a prude, but I don’t find some person who is seemingly very angry at the world, and using this word constantly, as amusing. And yet there are people in the audience screaming with laughter.

Maybe it’s just me. Sigh
