But I think Prior was one of the first if not THE first to throw that word around like it was nothing and on top of that use it to be funny.
I think Redd Foxx used it in his nightclub act before Pryor did. I still have a couple of Foxx's old albums (real vinyl ). I'd have to look at the copyright dates on them. But it's really neither here nor there. Pryor got the most attention with it because of the name of his standup act, and the famous album that followed it.
