Hey! For all you "Deadwood" fans, the great series on HBO, and the language used. I've been talking with friends who watch it too and we were all of the opinion that the language in the show was not used in the period, 1881. Well I had access to the Oxford Dictionary yesterday and guess what? The term "mother fucking" and "cocksucker" were actually used in a Texas court case in 1888 so we can assume it was common street language. The term "cunt" goes so far back it's almost an ancient term, a taboo word from the very beginning; so much for the president of the University of Colorado who thinks it's a "term of endearment". The word "fuck" goes just as far back, and the middle finger salute goes all the way back to a reference in Ancienbt Rome of an actor giving it to a booing audience. So "Deadwood" is dead on.
