gave me some great laughs.
I imagine these essays done by a stand-up comedian - rants filled with brand new curse words. I get such a kick out of way we create new words by slightly altering known words with new pronunciations, contractions, derivations, portmanteaus, nonces, adding -ing to make a verb of a noun.

I'll tire of Obo and ignore his rants for a few months but it was worth it today. 'Scouser' http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=scousers&gwp=16 , brand new to me, seems to have evolved into a pejorative, at least when preceded by 'inbred'.
Much of it started with this guy.
“ | Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits. Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that'll infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war. | ” |
—George Carlin, Class Clown, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" |

Now, we are all dealing with this guy
and the theme is not nicknames for body parts.
