<DIV><p>"I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" shouted Samuel Jackson in the movie <I>Snakes on a Plane.</I> It was the use of the famous expletive that brought on huge promotional buzz. The best-selling book <I>On Bullshit</I> won its audience from its shockingly unapologetic treatment of its title rather than its fairly pedestrian academic inquiry.</p> <p><I>The Compleat Motherfucker</I> is an entertaining and informative investigation into the offensive slang, touching on African American culture and other curious seeds of American subcultural and pop cultural movements.</p> <p>Author <B>Jim Dawson</B> also wrote the brisk-selling previous study of fartology, <I>Who Cut The Cheese.</I></p></DIV>
