Jeff Cottrill @jeffcottrill.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And a few other poets scolded me about it, literally YEARS afterwards. Again, I'm not trying to bring that word back. I couldn't care less. I'm just wondering if these people owe me an apology now. Or, if not, should we be excoriating The Daily Show and Menon for it? Just to make things fair. 000
Jeff Cottrill @jeffcottrill.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I performed it at the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word and everybody freaked out. The rest of the festival was spent listening to nineteen-year-old college students with virtually no life experience telling me I was a vicious misogynist. Mike McGee gave me an extremely patronizing lecture about it. 100
Jeff Cottrill @jeffcottrill.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Last week, the word was repeatedly used in an episode of @thedailyshow.com. This morning, Vinay Minon used it in a @thestar.com column. Fifteen years ago, I used that word in a poem, and holy SHIT, I never heard the end of it. (And it wasn't even really me saying it... I was playing a character.) 100
Jeff Cottrill @jeffcottrill.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So I have an awkward question... Are we allowed to say the H-word again? You know. The word "h--ker". The one that used to be common slang for sex workers. John Lee's last name. No, I'm not saying I *want* to use that word. I'm wondering why I've been hearing it so much in the mainstream lately. 110
