    Did you know about Alfred Jarry?

Jarry returned to Paris and applied himself to drinking writing and the company of friends who appreciated his witty sweet-tempered and unpredictable conversation.

    the opening line in his play Ubu Roi "Merdre!" has been translated into English as "Pshit!" "Shitteth!" "Shittr!" "Shikt!" "Shrit!" "Pschitt!" and "Shitsky!") he invented a fictional type of philosophy called 'pataphysics. His texts present some pioneering work in the field of absurdist literature.
