Pretty Saturday Night Live (SNL) newcomer Jenny Slate is considered to be a comic's comic. Accustomed to the theater and stand up comedy stage where language often goes uncensored, Jenny let it loose by dropping the F-bomb on her first night on SNL.

The F word is still not kosher to use on national television and was most likely unplanned by the show. Slate was performing a skit with cast member Kristen Wiig and Transformers star Megan Fox when the expletive occurred.

Within a few minutes after the slip Twitter was in full grapevine mode.  SNL skyrocketed to the top of the trending topics list (twitter buzz). Not known for letting 140 characters get in the way of sharing their opinions on everything from lunch to advances in tech gear, Twitter users could not wait to tweet or post about the goof up (@ in front of the Twitter handle indicates who the tweet is from).
