The Smoking Gun has already awarded its “Legal Document of the Year” award, to a marvelous motion to dismiss the charges against a kid who mouthed off to his principal, using various variations on “fuck.”
The motion goes to extraordinary (and amusing) pains to note the word’s history, its prevalence in society, and various cases where it’s been deemed constitutionally protected.
(Alas, the case got pleaded down, so the motion wasn’t ruled upon. But it’s still great fun to read.)

That’s just out-fucking-standing.
