Dear Forum-ers: Here's an odd question/request: What is/are your favorite swear word(s) or biting phrase(s) that Twain employs in his writing-any of his writing? I'm compiling a list for a talk I'm giving. For example, in "Carnival of Crime," he lets fly: "vile bit of human rubbish," "saddle of an ass," and "small-souled shuffler." "Dunderhead," "Ass," "Fool," crop up often enough too in his writing. If he didn't want to go to heaven if swearing wasn't allowed, I'd like a working list of what those angels would be missing. Whatever help you'd care to give. Gratefully, Ben
