I love the show “The Marvelous
Mrs. Maisel”.
But I have to wonder:
Did people really talk like that
in everyday conversation in the 1950’s? Even a waitress in a diner yells the F-word
out loud when the place is full of customers.
Makes it hard to see why Lenny
Bruce got in trouble so often.
So are the Maisel writers taking
liberties with the language? Or did the rest of the world take a while to catch
up to New York?
