"...the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the 'F-dash-dash-dash' word!"
Childhood Nostalgia Tangent:
When I was in 6th grade, we were allowed to use the classroom record player to listen to LPs or 45s during lunch. The class favorite? The B side of Johnny Cash's cover of "Boy Named Sue," which was "San Quentin," containing the line "you been livin' hell to me." As a 6th-grader in upstate NY, to hear the word "hell" used in mainstream pop culture at the time was an exquisite sampling of forbidden fruit. Funny enough, "Boy Named Sue" had "son of a bitch" and "damn" bleeped or edited out.
Also, funny enough: "Boy Named Sue" was written by Shel Silverstein, drawing on inspiration from Jean Shepherd -- whose writing, of course, provided the basis for "A Christmas Story."

Are you sure those aren't tires
only in the academic sense (round and once made of rubber)?
