  • Well, perhaps Jay & Bob don’t take home the F-word prize, according to the IMDB and Screenit:
“The Big Lebowski” contains at least 259 “f” words, 36 “s” words, 10 slang terms for male genitals (the “d,” “c,” and “p” words along with “rod” and “Johnson”), 1 slang term for female genitals (“beaver”), 22 “ass” words (6 using “hole”), 7 hells, 2 damns, 1 S.O.B., and 7 uses of “G-damn,” 5 of “Jesus,” 2 of “Jesus Christ,” and 1 use each of “Oh Jesus,” “Lord,” “By God,” “For Christ’s sakes” and “God” as exclamations.

The IMDB counts “267” for the big F — Which does beat the 227 Jay & Bob are supposed to have. Who the hell has time to count all this stuff anyway? One…
