Lenny Bruce did a bit called "Blah Blah Blah" about one of his obscenity trials. He was charged with violating the law in San Francisco by saying "cocksucker" in his act. So he did this bit that went (in part):
"A ten letter word, I'm not going to repeat the word because I want to finish the gig here tonight . . . Now, we get into court . . . Swear the Heat in. 'What did he say?' 'Your honor he said Blah Blah Blah!' The Judge: 'He said Blah Blah Blah?' Then the guy really yented it up - 'That's right!' . . . He said 'Blah Blah Blah! He said Blah Blah Blah!' And then they dug something. They sorta liked saying Blah Blah Blah. Because they said it a few extra times . . ."
And that's what is happening in this Imus thing. They really like saying "nappy-headed hos" because they're saying it a few extra times.
