Cultural Front: The Big Smoke: “Mouth Fighting”: [ The Big Smoke reading group ] Like many of the poems in Adrian Matejka's The Big Smoke , Jack Johnson delivers a personal descript...I noticed Jack Johnson's statement as trash talking being "civilized"
with rules, which is ironic especially as he says, "That's why the mouth
is the most devastating weapon and mine shines to high heaven every
time it takes a swing." That last line is stands out because as a
civilized individual there should be a need to use "devastating weapons"
or trash talking, but in the sports ambiance, "mouth fighting" or trash
talk plays a key role to break down your opponent.
