From Kurt Vonnegut’s 1977 interview with The Paris Review:
INTERVIEWER
What is a twerp in the strictest sense, in the original sense?
VONNEGUT
It’s a person who inserts a set of false teeth between the cheeks of his ass.
INTERVIEWER
I see.
VONNEGUT
I beg your pardon; between the cheeks of his or her ass. I’m always offending feminists that way.
INTERVIEWER
I don’t quite understand why someone would do that with false teeth.
VONNEGUT
In order to bite the buttons off the backseats of taxicabs. That’s the only reason twerps do it. It’s all that turns them on.
INTERVIEWER
You went to Cornell University after Shortridge?
VONNEGUT
I imagine.
INTERVIEWER
You imagine?
