LOL. Peter De Vries had a female-centered novel, Sauce For the Goose. There's a memory her high-school english teacher has of her back when. He'd asked the class what poetry was for; someone offered, "to shock the bourgeosie?"
Then the teacher asked how one would do that, and got ,"Um, four letter words?"
