The most times I heard the word in one place was from the mouth of Jimmy Gestapo. I opened for Murphy's Law in an upstate dive bar, and while hanging with him at the bar he dropped it casually 5 times (I'm a quadroon, but I don't know what Jimmy G thought I was). He also kissed my cheek 5 times. Does that cancel out? I'm sure he thinks it does.
