Frankly, my dear, I don't give a BITCH ASS SHIT FUCK DAMN

== Description ==
“Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn”, is the signature catchphrase of the 1939 movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_with_the_Wind “Gone with the Wind”], which starred [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Gable Clack Gable] (mentioned in the comic title) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivien_Leigh Vivien Leigh]. The phrase is spoken by Gable in character as Rhett Butler as last words in answer to Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. She (Scarlett) asks him (Rhett) literally: “Where shall I go? What shall I do?”, to which he answers the above catchphrase, meaning he he is not interested in her anymore. This disinterest, and the mention of the word “damn”, which was considered profanity at the time of releasing the film, led to the catchphrase to be voted #1 movie line of all time in 2005.

In the comic, [[Randall]] plays the profanity card, stating that Gable in character would've outered another line (“Frankly, my dear, I couldn't care less”) to be complaint with the sign of the times, but that Gable suffered from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome Tourette syndrome] and therefore uttered the above catchphrase. Tourette syndrome is a mental disorder which may lead the sufferer (usually children) to unexpectedly utter profane words amongst his or her speaking. The image text may or may not be an example from that. I'm sorry.

+[[File:Clark_gable.jpg]]
-"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" is the signature catchphrase from the 1939 movie ''{{w|Gone With The Wind (film)|Gone With The Wind}}'', which starred {{w|Clark Gable}} and {{w|Vivien Leigh}}. The phrase is spoken by Gable's character {{w|Rhett Butler}} as his last line, in answer to {{w|Scarlett O'Hara}} (Leigh) asking "Where shall I go? What shall I do?" The response indicates that Butler is no longer interested in O'Hara. This lack of interest, and the mention of the word "damn," which was considered profanity at the time of releasing the film, led to the line being voted the #1 movie line of all time in 1995's American Film Institute ranking.
-[[Randall Munroe|Randall]] suggests that the line as written was not supposed to contain profanity, but the actor, Gable, inserted it, due to having {{w|Tourette's Syndrome}}, which is a neurological condition that is stereotypically characterized by bouts of random, uncontrollable cursing (and repetition of phrases or words).

-The title text contains a more stereotypical Tourette's Syndrome outburst of several profanities in a row shouted mid-sentence.

-:The line was actually supposed to be "Frankly, my dear, I couldn't care less." It's just that Clark Gable had Tourette's.
