Realistically, what would mother/fucker even mean?
Is it a math formula?

Yeah, back in the day people really cared whether someone was octoroon or mulatto.
Today, many people are going to have to look up those terms.
Pam Anderson dumped Kid rock years ago.
Since the break up he’s become a bigger and bigger joke, while Pam has become more respected.
If you’ve made it a point to listen to every interview Mr. Fry has done, I’m sure he would tell you to stop and do something more useful.
For people who haven’t read a lot of 1980’s comics.
I won’t spoil it by naming it, but I really enjoyed a recent mystery where the amateur detective nearly dies at the hands of someone he didn’t suspect at all, and gets saved because the old, fat local cop was miles ahead of him the whole time.
Stephen Fry claims to have lost 100 pounds by walking and listening to audio books.
He made a list of all the books he wanted to read, then committed two hours a day to walking. He’d listen to the books while strolling.
If there’s a name for what you did, you didn’t invent it.
This is why I like the Flashman books.
They are pretty much the only historical novels I’ve read where the colonizers are portrayed realistically

Learn a little history.
Back in the day, a skin magazine called “High Society” put a message from a porn star on the office phone. The number of callers broke the system. People noticed and a new industry was born.
People have been paying for this for decades.
In “The Forever War” the recruits tell the non-coms ‘fuck you’ once a day. Failed experiment
Colonization 101.
Say you’re a conqueror and you pull up on an island with three tribes. The Lions are 75% of the population and control 95% of the wealth; the Tigers are 22% and control 4%. The Bears are 3% of the people and have 1% of the wealth.
You, the colonizer, give the Bears weapons and let them keep 2% of the money. You keep 98%.
The Lions and Tigers hate the Bears way more than they hate you.
“Aloha” has entered the chat
The exact same people run both the fossil fuel industry and nuclear power.
They ‘compete’ the same way professional wrestlers do.
Read the same book…

My favorite story is the one where a company that made automatic doors sent a letter asking how they got their door to move so smoothly…
The people writing science fiction were trying to make a living.
They wrote for magazines and TV shows that depended on advertising. A bunch of midcentury advertisers weren’t going to have a Black wom,an President.
Another thing to consider is how much change you can put into a story and still expect the average reader to keep up.
There was an article about an early Star Trek episode. One scene involved a couple of lines about a salt shaker. The production team went out and brought a bunch of wild looking salt shakers. [1960’s, remember?] None of the ‘futuristic’ looking salt shakers was any good for the scene, because they realized the TV audience wouldn’t understand what that funny looking thing was. In the end they used an ordinary looking shaker.
I know this might surprise you, but there is a small minority of the population that hasn’t watched every episode of every show ever made.
For those poor souls, it might be nice to add a link so they know what in G$d’s name you are talking about.
