AI didn't make this up. I heard this a decade ago.

Did David Milch say he researched it and this was accurate, or you'rejust guessing? I think that he did research it and landed on "I want it to sound accurate and work more than I want it to be accurate and not work."

If you make a movie about ancient Rome, you can make it accurate by making all the buildings colorful but it would take the audience out of it because we think they were all white.

2004 New Yorker article, what do ya know

Deadwood - Swearing in the Old West - Nymag https://share.google/x9fwgkFmsdOt3mn6I

Life's Work, A memoir. David Milch

Read that NY mag blurb you linked.

I'm team Milch. We are talking about whorehouses in the 1870s. I would like to think Ian MacShane's character took his considerable intellect and commitment to debauchery to form a rather "blue" way of conversing and making his points.
