Like I guess I get the idea that the prose is supposed to convey that in the heat of the moment your mind reverts to a more primal state that's all incoherent imagery and inchoate vocabulary But drat, like, you shoot a little wide of the mark and it turns into some poo poo

While there are few phrases bizzarely funnier than "adult beefswelling," the later DUNE books definitely have more depraved content. There's a part in the last two books where the Bene Gesserit are trying to unlock the Ancestral Memory of a clone of Duncan, and they do it by loving it out of him. And he's supposed to be like 14 at the time.

Dune is good in spite of Frank Herbert, not because of him. I'm pretty sure that quote is also from what's generally considered the worst of the acceptable Dune books.
