	Seven dirty words - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Seven dirty words are seven words that were prohibited from use on broadcast media in the United States, including both over-the-air television and radio stations.
		In follow-up rulings, the FCC clarified that the words might be acceptable under certain circumstances, particularly at times when children would not be expected to be in the audience.
		In the 2000s, the words tits and piss are generally no longer prohibited from broadcast over public airwaves in the United States, with the word shit often allowed as well.

	All Too Human: Dirty Words, George Carlin, and Paul of Tarsus
		His famous routine Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television is a classic and is more relevant than ever because of the FCC hysteria over Janet Jackson's boobie.
		I never understood why people got so upset about "dirty words" I would say shit on the playground and some of my classmates would cover their mouth with their hand and say, "ooohh, you swore." I just thought it was funny.
		I would go on to say, "shit, fuck, damn, hell, motherfucker." This was the point at which they would go tell on me. During parent-teacher conference my teacher labeled me "the worst mouth in the fourth grade." There is a great interview with George Carlin about this and other issues over on Salon.com.

		Cortese says the rising use of profanity is helping fuel a culture of disrespect in the classroom.
		The word means “cool,” “hip,” or “awesome.” I believe the word “pimp” will become a nonoffensive descriptor in 10 years, so telling your students it’s a curse word seems silly to them.

	Zap2it - TV news - To Cuss or Not to Cuss: The TV Dilemma
		The word in question, a four-letter description of feces that begins with an "s," was one of comedian George Carlin's infamous "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television." However, last week it was not only said once, but 162 times during "South Park's" fifth season premiere on the basic cable channel Comedy Central.
		The episode "is taking this word to the point that it has no impact whatsoever and then, at the end of it, saying it's really bad to do that," she explains to Zap2it.
		In 1978, the Supreme Court ruled seven words "indecent" in a ruling that backed a FCC decision banning the use of certain words on broadcast TV and radio.

		After all, he’s the voice of "Stuff," "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" and other still-hilarious bits from classic LPs like FM and AM, Class Clown and Occupation: Foole, that are included in a superb seven-CD box George Carlin: The Little David Years 1971-1977 (Atlantic).
		The fact that stuff like "Seven Words" and the entirety of Occupation: Foole went to the Supreme Court due to religious commentary — the only decision ever made on a comic’s routine — I have a perverse pride in that.
		It’s nice to make them uneasy but you have to have ideas underpinning your words and you have to have a touch of poet in you, to entertain an audience with sentence formation, the rhetoric of it.

		It is one of few words that is known universally by it's first letter (F-word, C-word, and the N-word) and when uttered on broadcast TV, makes a network censor blow a vein.
		These days, I try to refrain from saying the word not so much to in deference to my Mom, but to keep Garrett (my 3 year old son) from picking it up.

		I spent about 15 minutes looking for George Carlin's infamous list of "The seven words you can never say on television," (made famous by the FCC vs. Pacifica Foundation case) and this was the only page that actually listed them.
		Everybody understands that you cannot drink the word "water", and yet virtually nobody seems entirely free of semantic delusions entirely comparable to trying to drink the ink-stains that form the word "water" on this page or the sound waves produced when I say "water" aloud.
		If you say, "The word is not the thing," everybody agrees placidly; if you watch people, you see that they continue to behave as if something called Sacred "really is" Sacred and something called Junk "really is" Junk.

	Class Clown by George Carlin
		If you are a MP3.com member you can set a preferred service to instantly tell if that music service has this album.
		Comedian George Carlin's definitive monologue was delivered on 1972's Class Clown album in the form of "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television." While the majority of routines on Class Clown dealt with Carlin's self examination surrounding his Irish Catholic upbringing, he saved his controversial tour de force as the album's grand finale.
		The record buying public embraced the album; however, the FCC and Supreme Court held the routine as the epitome of tastelessness, threatening to yank the license of any station that dare play it over public airwaves.

		Famed for his landmark "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" routine, George Carlin filled the void created by the death of Lenny Bruce, honing a provocative, scathing comic style which bravely explored the limits of free speech and good taste.
		Most notably, Class Clown featured the recorded debut of the "Seven Dirty Words" bit, the subject of a Supreme Court ruling after the FCC nearly stripped Pacifica Radio of its FM license for playing the routine on the air.
		Still, Carlin did not neglect his core audience; 1990's Parental Advisory, Explicit Lyrics and 1992's Jammin' in New York found him as feisty as ever, and in 1994 he starred as an abrasive cab driver in the short-lived Fox television sitcom The George Carlin Show.
