A censor-safe substitute for "motherfucker."
The term was invented by a fellow named
Calvin who managed a pizza joint in 1993. When
two new teenage
girls were hired as extra help, the owner's wife pleaded with Calvin and other coarse talkers to clean up their language. Calvin often recited gangsta rap lyrics throughout the workday, and "flipperjabber" was perfect because it has the same amount of syllables as "motherfucker," thereby allowing the
flow of the rap to carry on as usual. This word later infiltrated his everyday vernacular and that of his closest friends who often used the word to refer to each other.
