Reply to comment by JasonIsBaad in TIL that the first use of the phrase "son-of-a-bitch" in American literature was in the 1823 book "Seventy-Six" by John Neal about the American Revolutionary War. Seventy-Six was criticized at the time for its use of profanity and was noted for its use of colloquialisms. by vrphotosguy55

If you’re a celebrity, they let you do it.

Bujakowski may have actually skied at the 1960 Olympics although he was not an official participant as he submitted his paperwork too late (https://www.livemint.com/Opinion/4psIJpO07WlAw5FCi85VML/The-story-of-Jeremy-John-Bujakowski-Indias-Winter-Olympics.html).
