It is merely another fine example slanderous of blacks crafting, bending the language to make it our own. Highly conscious of the fact that the commission of physical violence against a white man or his property (other black folks) could result in the most draconian punishment, bondsmen often used language as a weapon of choice. Verbal aggression, "woofin'," "signifyin'," playing "the dozens" (a reference to the fact that slaves past their prime, who were aged or slanderous plain worn out slanderous from back-breaking labor, were sold by the dozen) became a means of survival, of safely venting hostility, as well as a sometimes raucous pastime. "Motherfucker" -- a word accusatory of, perhaps, the most heinous of universal taboos -- is elegant in its simplicity, exquisitely cutting, powerfully destructive.
