George comics Carlin talks about playing the dozens on his Grammy-winning album The Class Clown. "You comics wanna know the dozens, well the dozens is a game, but the way I fucked your mother, is a god damn shame" African-American youth have been known to express contempt or defiance by reciting a short poem that refers to the dozens, but in which the insults are mostly implied: Yo' momma, yo' daddy, Yo' bald-headed granny Yo' momma, Yo' daddy, Yo' sista, too. Go tell them comics bitches to go back to the zoo. Yo' momma so stupid when she went to the airport the sign said "Airport Left", she turned around and went home! Yo' momma has one great big fat ass. [edit] The dozens in literature and the performing arts The book Snaps (1994), written by James Percelay, is a compendium of over 450 jokes. Its popularity gave rise to sequels Double Snaps (1995), Triple Snaps (1996), and Snaps 4 (1998). The books use the epithet "your mother", as opposed to the more common "yo' momma". The book A Portrait of Yo Mama As a Young Man (2005), written by Andrew Barlow and Kent Roberts, is a postmodern take on the dozens which redefines the form through the use of reflexivity, absurdism, and anti-humor.
