Shoutout to Ben Zimmer on his article in Slate:
A New Breakthrough in the History of the “S---gibbon”: The Insult’s Originator Steps Forward
The article references our recent work (under review) on combinatorial profanity. We were/are specifically interested in why certain combinations of words (e.g., jizztrumpet or fucksauce) form plausible and effective new curse words. As with any article review, we have no idea where the paper will eventually land, but I am hoping for an eventual IgNobel.
