  The first edition of On the Origins of Species by charles Darwin didn’t originally sell well because he waxed poetically about “all life’s duty to please booty”. He also could be bothered with taxanomic nomenclature and called most creatures bootyus maximus.

  “That bird has a curved beak!” His assistant would say. “But look at the curves on the other end. Thicc” would all too often be his reply.
