Why is this Boondocks episode called "the S Word"? I get it's evoking the reference to the bit where the principal talks about the word spearchucker using the euphamisim s-word in the same way they allude to nigger as n-word, but what is the meaning behind this title? All i can guess is that "spearchucker" as an insult is so passé that to go through so many hoops to allude to it without actually saying it sounds moot, like a similar argument about giving words power that JK Rowling made about calling Voldemort his name instead of "he who must not be named", but that seems like a stretch, UNLESS McGruder is attacking how little the N word should mean to black people today since we have been so far removed from eras where that word was used when white men had the power of oppresion to use that word in traumatic ways, but that argument doesn't really make sense considering Robert is still alive and clearly a victim of the struggles of racism that he fought for.
the S word is sue
spade, slicky, stoneage, snicker
stinkmeaner
