I happen to enjoy it, because it's an amusing departure from the social studies, science and history classes that are most of Frank's lyrics, but have ustedes noticed how much he loves the word "shitty?" I think it is freaking hilarious. It's a funny all-purpose word. Three examples immediately come to mind: "Motorway to Roswell," "Hate Me" and "SO Bay." I have also noticed the word's use in many interview-type situations. I guess "shit" in all its forms can count, like in "Blast Off."
That reminds me. That opener from DitS is totally the mature brother to "Abstract Plain" from TotY in its theme. And isn't it oddly coincidental that both records are titled like this: "(subject {specifically, animal})+(preposition {?} like of/in)+THE+(qualifying noun, answering the of/in)." Maybe this has something to do with the "book depository where they crowned the king of Cuba."
So what's the deal with the S-H word? Frank, can you tell us maybe?
"Plain n' simp--the system's a pimp, but I refuse to be a ho."

Me and my friend decided that if the "S" word has a "Y" at the end, it's not actually a cuss word since it's an adjective and it's just describing something. Of course we were being funny and it's just something we like to joke about.
Has anyone heard that hilarious live radio version of Brackish Boy where frank substituted "Raisined" for the "F" word?
