In a way it's too bad that Abe Lincoln was not a bastard, because my brain automatically hears a phrase like “I’m the big buck of this lick!” in @iwriteok.bsky.social's voice
Sevabiggest surprise from the Lincoln bio I'm reading. The dude just loved to get into fistfights. He's cornered by a gang after beating their leader and yells: “I’m the big buck of this lick!” And they back down! Who knew the great emancipator had a little WWE in him?
