The following is transcript of one of Carlin's program, not the above unfortunately, but it helps to read it.

There are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7

and words. You know the 7, don't you, that you can't say on television?3 |$ n& L2 m8 Z1 l6 T* m
"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"

sounding word. It sounds like a nickname, right? "Hey, Tits, come here,: v8 g) p( y2 B9 o
man. Hey Tits, meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots." It sounds like a

snack. I mean New Nabisco Tits!, and new Cheese Tits, Corn Tits,0 A5 \3 D; D4 J/ A! g0 V i

* I) k1 }% A/ ?5 p- Cnot belong on the list. Actually none of the words belong on the list,& ~- @/ z1 {+ L/ D2 L. Z! i
but you can understand why some of them are there. I'm not

some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and
1 ]! h/ |: [* O( VMotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on0 g% o( |: [7 y2 _
there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling.7 E7 V0 H i, n
I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend4 w3 r: b. c2 n' I! Z* U
with. And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at7 c5 i8 y# c3 { j
you like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer."
, x# y% d9 ]# r9 Y$ E* o2 rIt's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the
$ H5 g8 v& K; i& F2 \other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go" Q7 O5 h% S) X' t6 X; f
together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that5 t) {) J2 A# Y: {. g
Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were! X+ h& \( B7 P
certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I
* s% ?8 {" _1 V# [% a0 }6 }don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such0 @) F4 M8 `& M# g
stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."8 g/ B G* Q* I1 o4 M0 v
And, of course, the word Fuck. I don't really, well that's more& a; O( i5 ?, T) I& l2 A
accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think5 `- ^8 X% y; p/ }9 M
it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very
- j: c- I4 J G1 O* T' Qimprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to/ w4 w' J, R, I% W
hurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,
* `% F: t( N9 u+ W2 Y5 Z& E"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love. \$ S; T3 t: d5 a3 z4 W
than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is
# |* m1 k" U5 w# _. n* j) qa great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but( S# {. h& k+ Z
I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for: u) Q4 L- _& F7 a
the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,
* }1 m' t6 K0 ?6 j& o% v f- }" BSherrif, we're gonna Fuck you now, but we're gonna Fuck you slow."2 C1 t+ U% h0 N# X
So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' ramp on the N word.2 ~/ n' F) |3 d T; _) t5 H
I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any" x! q& Y# u9 i
circumstanses. You just cannot say them ever ever ever. Not even
' N, @! L2 _! R' j# t* Q5 {. A6 Q# Rclinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,9 t: V' Z) h6 [7 u" V; C
and Johnny. I mean, it is just impossible. Forget tHose 7. They're out.9 y( f4 `" S1 ]( |6 c/ N
But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words.

the bible. ha ha ha ha. There are some 2-way words, like it is okay for
+ W* w9 Z7 s, |( R4 G3 v# L7 tKirk Youdi to say "Roberto Clametti has 2 balls on him.", but he can't
6 K( {. o% Z. N3 M; r0 C) o# Qsay "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding
- E3 V6 S# r6 gthem. He must've hurt them, by God." and the other 2-way word that
( d8 n( L# T: E* zgoes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You9 F/ \' v2 S0 U9 \! z" v
can prik your finger but don't finger your prik. No,no. |
