WHEN YOU CALL MY NAME, I SALIVATE LIKE A PAVLOV DOG: The NYT's Virginia Heffernan -- a sinner and a saint who does not feel ashamed --investigates a certain five-letter epithet's that all over the airwaves, and she's stone-cold sober as a matter of fact.
Thirty-two times she mentions said word in her column, which gained in current usage from its derogatory use in describing inter-prisoner relationships on HBO's "Oz", though perhaps used most powerfully in Ryan's welcoming to the O.C. and on "Chapelle's Show", when Wayne Brady's deciding who he's going to have to choke, as well as, of course, Rick James' greeting of choice.
Also, I think Kyle's mom is one. In D minor.
